  • Jumbo Supermarkten says the recall concerns Jumbo Stoofpotje met Lam, Pasta & Groente 415 g.
  • Jumbo Supermarkten identifies the affected barcode as EAN 8718452583966.

  • Jumbo Supermarkten says customers should not feed the product to dogs and may return it without a receipt.

Jumbo Supermarkten (Dutch supermarket group founded in 1979 and active in Belgium since 2019) operates stores in Belgium and the Netherlands and sells private-label groceries and pet products. Jumbo Stoofpotje met Lam, Pasta & Groente 415 g (Jumbo own-brand wet dog food sold in cans) is the specific product the company says is affected. EAN code 8718452583966 (the barcode identifier used at checkout and in stock systems) is the number Jumbo gives for the recalled product. FAVV-AFSCA (Belgium's Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain) is the federal authority that publishes Belgian product recalls and food-chain warnings. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, or RASFF (EU alert network created in 1979), is the European Commission system through which authorities exchange information on food and feed risks.

Background

Product recalls are a normal part of the Belgian and EU food-chain safety system. FAVV-AFSCA's recall page stated on 13 June 2026 that its database contained 874 product notices and, on 12 June 2026, listed unrelated recalls or warnings involving flaxseed, popcorn maize, salami and Jumbo BBQ Pittige Worsten. The European Commission says RASFF was created in 1979 after an incident involving oranges and now supports rapid exchanges between food-safety authorities. For pet food, the 2007 melamine crisis remains the major international precedent, because it showed how contaminated feed ingredients can trigger cross-border recalls and lasting consumer distrust.

Why now

The story is timely because Jumbo Supermarkten dated its public safety warning 13 June 2026 and identified a specific dog-food can that customers should stop using immediately.

Context & what happens next

What to watch

Watch for any update from Jumbo Supermarkten or FAVV-AFSCA expanding the affected batch list, adding a supplier explanation or confirming whether other Jumbo pet-food products are unaffected.

What to do

Belgian readers who shop at Jumbo should check wet dog-food cans for Jumbo Stoofpotje met Lam, Pasta & Groente 415 g, EAN 8718452583966 and best-before date 28 March 2028. Jumbo says the affected product should not be fed to dogs and can be returned to a store without a receipt.
