How this affects the score

Recalls and Brand Trust

A recall in the past five years removes the "no FDA recall in five years" Brand Trust signal, and a Class I recall removes "no Class I recall ever." Older recalls stay on the record for context but stop weighing on the score. We only subtract Brand Trust points on a verified brand-manufacturer-product match, never a name collision. Merrick has no recent matches weighing on its current Brand Trust signal.

FAQ

About Merrick recalls

Has Merrick ever been recalled?

Yes. 7 FDA recall records match Merrick or its manufacturer, the most recent in March 2020. All are more than five years old, so they no longer weigh on the five-year Brand Trust signal.

How does a recall affect Merrick's PetScored score?

Recalls feed the Brand Trust sub-score. A recall in the past five years removes the five-year-clean signal and a Class I recall removes the never-Class-I signal. We act only on a verified brand-manufacturer-product match against the FDA record, and older recalls stop weighing over time.

Where does this Merrick recall data come from?

The FDA Firm-Issued Recalls Data Sets, current to April 2026. We match the FDA export against the brand and its manufacturer and disposition each hit by hand before it touches a score; full-export reconciliation for Merrick is still pending.
