Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to
humans from handling contaminated pet
products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after
having contact with the products or any surfaces
exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for
some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody
diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more
serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis,
muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting
these signs after having contact with this product should contact their
healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or
bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased
appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be
carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the
recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
Consumers who have purchased the specific dry pet foods listed should
discard them.
