I've subscribed to the list for a couple of years now.
I hope it's OK to post the info. Go to dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-recall-alerts/
For good info about dog food in general, I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to Whole Dog Journal. Their website is just the name with a .com I have no connection with this publication except to say I've been a very happy subscriber since the late 90s.
