Cesar
Owned by Mars, Incorporated Kibble / retail 1 recall medium–high
Mars, Incorporated brand sold in the US by Mars Petcare, built around single-serve wet trays and pouches for small dogs, with a much smaller dry and treat range. Its product pages present the guaranteed analysis, calorie content and ingredient list as images of the pack label rather than as text. The range covers adult and puppy only; there is no large-breed or senior line.
Cesar is owned by Mars, Incorporated (Mars Petcare). Of the 6 foods we hold, 6 publish a nutrient analysis, 6 a calorie statement, 6 an ingredient list and 0 a nutritional-completeness statement. Those counts are what the transparency mark above records — how we read a label.
Recall history
