9/10/2026, 12:56:04 AM
Products and Lot Information
Fi — a New York-based pet-health company — has voluntarily recalled two of its canine dietary supplements after its manufacturer reported that an ingredient might be contaminated with *Salmonella*. The recalled items are the Fi Calming Supplement for Dogs (180 g, lot 26118, UPC 850064800111) and the Fi 8-in-1 Formula Supplement for Dogs (180 g, lot 26159, UPC 850055111684). Both products were sold directly to consumers and through the online retailers Amazon and Chewy.
Health Risks and Consumer Guidance
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notes that *Salmonella* can infect dogs that ingest the supplements, producing symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea (including bloody diarrhea), fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, or abdominal pain. Infected dogs may also become asymptomatic carriers, potentially transmitting the bacteria to other animals or to humans via handling of the product or contact with animal waste. For people, exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), abdominal cramping, fever, and, in severe cases, complications such as arterial infections or endocarditis. The FDA emphasizes thorough hand-washing after handling the supplements or any contaminated surfaces.
Official Statements and Response
Fi announced the recall on the FDA’s website and instructed owners to stop using the products immediately and to discard them with the lid tightly sealed. The company provided a toll-free line (1-888-434-3647, available seven days a week, 10 a.m.–8 p.m. EST) and an email address (support@tryfi.com) for consumer questions. The manufacturer has suspended production while it investigates the source of the possible contamination. The FDA has opened a reporting channel for adverse events through its Center for Veterinary Medicine’s online form (FDA 1932a).
Current Status and Next Steps
As of the latest notice, no illnesses have been reported linked to the recalled supplements. The investigation into the contaminated ingredient remains ongoing. Consumers who purchased the affected lots are urged to follow the disposal instructions and monitor both their pets and themselves for any signs of *Salmonella* infection, seeking veterinary or medical care as needed.
