⚠ Important recall information appears below.

The Bruiser brand of dog food is made and sold by Wegmans, a supermarket chain in the U.S. Northeast. The store began as Rochester Fruit & Vegetable Co. in 1916 and eventually was renamed to Wegmans, after the brothers running the store. The business is still family-run.

Has Bruiser Ever Been Recalled?

Yes. The former manufacturer, Mars Petcare, recalled products in 2008 because of potential salmonella contamination.
