Dog Owners Warned as Morrisons Recalls Lily’s Kitchen Pasta al Ragu Cans

Morrisons has issued a voluntary recall of Lily’s Kitchen Pasta al Ragu 400g wet dog food after the retailer flagged a risk that some cans may contain small pieces of plastic. The recall notice, posted on Morrisons’ product recall page with a recall date of 24/01/2026, identifies batch code 5212T9097F and can numbers 27018-50268. The affected cans carry a best before date of 31/07/2027.

Dog owners and households that use commercial wet food should check their cupboards now. Morrisons instructs customers not to feed affected cans to pets and to return the product to store for a full refund. Lily’s Kitchen has also published a customer notice on its own website detailing the issue and advising customers to contact Lily’s Kitchen customer service for further guidance.

Small pieces of plastic in wet food present an obvious choking and ingestion risk, particularly for small breeds and dogs that gulp rather than chew. For community members caring for elderly dogs, dogs with previous gastrointestinal issues, or dogs prone to scavenging, the safe play is to remove any suspect cans from food rotations immediately and follow the retailer’s return instructions.

Practical steps to take right now include locating any Lily’s Kitchen Pasta al Ragu 400g cans in your home, checking the batch code 5212T9097F and the can numbers 27018-50268, and confirming the best before date of 31/07/2027. If a can matches, do not open it or feed it to your dog. Return the product to Morrisons for a refund, and consult the Lily’s Kitchen customer notice on the brand site for contact details and next steps. Keep the tin and original packaging when you return it, as that will speed up the refund process and help trace the issue.

This recall highlights the broader need for vigilance around wet food risks. Many owners rely on brands like Lily’s Kitchen for daily meals and occasional treats, so swift checks can prevent harm and avoid vet visits for preventable ingestion injuries. If a dog has already eaten from an affected can and shows vomiting, abdominal pain, choking, lethargy, or other worrying symptoms, seek veterinary help promptly.

For Hyperenergetic Dogs readers, this is a reminder to treat tinned dinners with the same scrutiny you give new treats and chews. Check your stores, follow Morrisons’ refund instructions, and keep an eye on Lily’s Kitchen customer communications for updates. Regular pantry sweeps will help keep mealtimes safe and let your pups get back to what they do best - being energetic, food-motivated companions.
