Smallbatch Company Overview
The company was started in 2006 by 2 people who had worked in the pet food industry for years. They wanted to create a better and healthier line of pet food and worked with grass-fed, cage-free meat, vegetables and bee pollen.
Smallbatch is made in California in small batches, as the name suggests. The products have no hormones or antibiotics and use only natural ingredients.
The company opened a second production facility in Oregon that sources ingredients from Oregon, Washington and Colorado.
Has There Ever Been A Smallbatch Recall?
There have been Smallbatch recalls, according to our research.
In the Spring of 2017, Smallbatch recalled frozen chicken product over concerns about potential salmonella contamination. No pet or consumer illnesses had been reported at the time the recall was announced.
Also, in 2016, the company issued a voluntary recall based on FDA testing results of a single batch of food. That recall, while issued, was contested by the company, which provided lab results of samples taken before and after the same batches were completed — the independent lab results were negative for salmonella and listeria monocytogenes.
