RECALL: Potential Presence of Metal Affects Popular Green Tripe Dog Treats

According to the FDA, 3,551 bags of green tripe dog treats were recalled because foreign metal objects could potentially be present. Green tripe is an edible stomach lining from animals like cows, sheep, and buffalo. While it may sound gross to us, it's a healthy, flavorful snack for dogs. Of course, it's only safe to eat if it doesn't have foreign metal in it.
