Carolina Prime Pet, Inc. of Lenoir, NC has voluntarily recalled 400 of its 16-ounce bags of Hollywood Feed Carolina Made Chicken Chips treats for dogs due to the possibility of Salmonella contamination. The product comes in black and purple bags and the side of the bags displays lot number 20051324L2 and an expiration date of 11/13/25.

The recalled product was distributed to Hollywood Feed stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, and online through www.hollywoodfeed.com.

The potential for contamination was noted after a third party tested and identified contamination in a related, unreleased lot of the same product. This is the only lot number identified as potentially contaminated, and no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and humans handling contaminated products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any exposed surfaces.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled product should stop using it and contact the company at treats@carolinaprimepet.com or 828-394-6460 Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:00PM EST for information about returning recalled product for a refund or replacement product.
