I am posting this because I am increasingly concerned about the lack of attention being given to the ongoing issues surrounding Darwin’s Natural Pet Products, particularly by Maddie and Rudder who has repeatedly promoted the company to her audience.

I am not looking for anyone to harass this creator. I am trying to get accurate information in front of people who may be feeding Darwin’s to their dogs and may not be aware of the recent developments.

What has happened with Darwin’s?

This is not based on a single internet rumor.

The FDA has issued multiple advisories involving Darwin’s products over the years.

In September 2024, the FDA reported that samples from five Darwin’s raw pet food products tested positive for Salmonella, while a sixth sample tested positive for both Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA recommended that the company recall all six affected lots.

In July 2025, the FDA reported an even more serious incident involving Darwin’s beef dog food. A sample from a household freezer tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, and the FDA reported that the strain was a genetic match to E. coli O157:H7 found in a stool sample from a child who became ill in 2024 and subsequently developed hemolytic uremic syndrome requiring hospitalization. The FDA also reported Salmonella in samples from two other Darwin’s lots and recommended recalls.

And this month, on August 7, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil complaint seeking a permanent injunction against Arrow Reliance Inc., doing business as Darwin’s Natural Pet Products. The complaint alleges violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, including failure to comply with preventive-control requirements and causing pet food to become adulterated. Again, these are allegations in a pending federal case, but the fact that the DOJ has filed this action is significant.

There is also a much longer history of FDA actions involving Darwin’s, including previous Salmonella and other pathogen findings.

Why am I bringing up this particular creator?

This creator has been one of the most vocal proponents of Darwin’s and has promoted the company to her audience.

I have been looking for a public acknowledgment from her regarding these developments, and I have not been able to find one.

That is what concerns me.

I understand that creators have personal lives and that they may be dealing with difficult circumstances. I also understand that someone can change their opinion about a company or need time to investigate allegations before making a statement.

But if you have repeatedly promoted a product to your audience, I believe your audience deserves transparency when serious safety concerns arise involving that product.

If she has investigated the situation and believes Darwin’s is still safe, I would genuinely like to know why.

If she no longer supports Darwin’s, I would like her to tell her followers.

If she believes the FDA and DOJ allegations are inaccurate, I think her audience deserves to hear her explanation.

What I don't think is acceptable is simply saying nothing.

Especially when this creator regularly uses her platform to hold other people and companies accountable for their actions.

What I'm asking

I'm asking for help determining whether I am missing something.

Has anyone seen this creator publicly address:

• The 2024 FDA findings?
• The 2025 FDA E. coli/Salmonella advisory?
• The September 2025 FDA advisory involving Salmonella and Listeria?
• The DOJ's August 7, 2026 complaint?
• Whether she still recommends Darwin's to her audience?

If she has addressed these issues somewhere I haven't seen, please link it. I genuinely want to know.

If she hasn't, I think people who have purchased Darwin's because of her recommendations deserve to know about these developments.

I'm not asking anyone to contact her aggressively, threaten her, or harass her. I'm asking people to look at the primary sources, share accurate information, and ask reasonable questions.

I believe transparency matters—especially when you're making recommendations that involve the health and safety of people's pets. Lets get this in front of people and possibly save dogs lives.

Notes: I have commented on her latest videos to call her out. I have even contacted her directly to no avail.

I distinctly remember seeing footage on YouTube of a guy walking or camping through the woods. Something knocks him out and when he awakes, he is this "shrine" made of bones. I have been trying to find the footage for weeks now but I can't seem to. Can anyone tell me what the footage is and where to find it?

The last thing I remember seeing on it is claims it was fake and done for a film project. Thank you in advance!

In 2024, I had a falling out with my best friend, who owned a server I was very involved with, so I’m not really looking to go back there. I did a lot of work on the server, including helping as staff, but I’m not looking for another staff role or anything like that.

I’m just looking for a place where I can hang out, meet some people, and chill with an 18+ community. I’d love to find a server that’s active, welcoming, and focused on just having a good time. My favorite game modes are skyblock and survival (so those are a must).
