19 notifications on pet food from India since 1 January 2020. That is under 1% of all EU notifications on products from India and 7% of all notifications on pet food from any origin; India ranks 5 of 34 origins for this category. 4 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 3 in the 365 days before, up 33%.

Most reported: Salmonella (10), Enterobacteriaceae (6) and dioxins and PCBs (1). 37% were border rejections (17% for pet food from all origins) and 32% had a serious risk decision. The products named most often were dog chews (7) and dog food (2).

Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
