Episode Details

The Department of Justice is suing pet food giant Arrow Reliance Inc. and its owner Gary Tashjian over years of selling contaminated products tainted with deadly bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. Federal tests from 2017 to 2025 found pathogens in finished goods, and a 2024 inspection revealed Salmonella inside the facility. The fallout is real: a four-year-old child fell seriously ill last year after exposure to the pet food, with lab tests confirming bacteria in unopened packages. Despite repeated FDA warnings, the company allegedly ignored safety protocols. Now, the government seeks a court order to halt production until the company meets federal standards — because pet owners deserve to trust the food they give their pets, and companies must step up when they fail.
