Take a look at Fido's food! Sunshine Mills, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall on some of its dog food products due to elevated levels of aflatoxin.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, "aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mold by-product" that can be harmful pets if it's consumed in large quantities. A routine sampling of Sunshine Mills' products by the Louisiana Department of Health showed higher levels of aflatoxin. In turn, the company issued a recall and stores across the country are pulling the affected products from shelves.

If you recently purchased Sunshine Mills food for your pup, here are the products affected by the recall that you'll want to look out for:
