The "Real Beef Is The #1 Ingredient" messaging has been a core marketing claim, though the full ingredient panel (beef + chicken meal + rice + peas) tells a fuller story.
Has Rachael Ray Nutrish been recalled?
Yes, June 2018 — Nutrish Dish with Real Beef & Brown Rice recalled (joint with Natural Balance) for elevated levels of montelukast, a pharmaceutical asthma drug that contaminated feed-mill supplies upstream. Scope was limited to specific lots. Full FDA URL on the brand page.
