The recall is a result of FDA sampling due to a consumer complaint on another product, and testing revealed a sample of this product contains Salmonella. The company’s investigation into the source of the Salmonella contamination is ongoing and production will resume after the problem is resolved.
Consumers who have these products should discontinue use and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with the recalled product in their home should clean refrigerators/freezers where the product was stored and clean and disinfect all bowls, utensils, food prep surfaces, pet bedding, toys, floors, and any other surfaces that the food or pet may have had contact with. Because animals can shed the bacteria in the feces when they have bowel movements, it’s particularly important to clean up the animal’s feces in yards or parks where people or other animals may become exposed, in addition to cleaning items in the home. Consumers should thoroughly wash their hands after handling the affected product or cleaning up potentially contaminated items and surfaces.
