In 2018, the FDA began investigating whether the increasing popularity of grain-free dog foods had led to a sudden rise in a potentially fatal heart disease in dogs. Four years later, the FDA has reached no conclusion, but the publicity surrounding the issue has shrunk the once-promising market for grain-free dog foods. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)

A story published July 20, 2022, and distributed by The Associated Press about a Food and Drug Administration dog food investigation erroneously reported details of the Morris Animal Foundation. The founder of the charity, Mark Morris, Sr., created the first line of dog foods produced by the company that would become Hill’s Pet Nutrition, but he did not start the company. The story also erroneously stated that the Morris Animal Foundation is chaired by a Hill’s Pet Nutrition employee; it is not.
