Beef Supplier Blamed for Bad Batch of Dog Food (Evanger's)

A dog food company claims in a $20 million lawsuit that its meat supplier provided it with beef containing horsemeat laced with euthanizing drugs, forcing a recall after a dog died.

Evanger’s Dog and Cat Food sued Wisconsin-based Bailey Farms LLC in Cook County, Ill., Circuit Court on Wednesday, seeking $20 million in punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages and attorney fees.

Evanger’s most popular product is its Hunk of Beef dog food, which it developed in 2005. The company uses large pieces of beef which are hand-cut to a dog-edible size.

Last year, Bailey delivered a shipment of 42,340 pounds of beef to Evanger’s to be used in the Hunk of Beef dog food, according to the complaint.
