Midwestern Pet Foods has expanded their recall on a number of their products after more than 70 dogs have died and 80 became sick.

Reports say that the recall was placed on their products after being linked to multiple dog deaths and may contain potentially unsafe levels of aflatoxin, a byproduct of mold.

Back on December 30th, the Food and Drug Administration issued the recall of nine total lots of Sportmix pet food products. On January 11th, the recall was expanded to include more varieties from the brand.
