another dog food recall

Wanted to be sure you heard about the voluntary pet food recall from Mars Petcare US.

Due to possible Salmonella contamination, some dog food brands manufactured in PA have been recalled.

The voluntary recall only affects the United States and only effects dog food manufactured in their Everson, Pennsylvania facility.

The following brands are effected (and there are “types” affected in the brands, so please see the entire article for product codes):

Country Acres
Doggy Bag
Member’s Mark
Natural Cat/Dog
Pedigree
Ol’ Roy
Paws N Claws
Pet Pride
PMI Nutrition
Red Flannel
Retriever
Special Kitty
Wegman’s

The pet food is being recalled because it is potentially contamination with Salmonella. As you probably know, salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, there is the potential for cross contamination (caused by handling of the pet food) in people as well, especially children, the elderly, and people with immune system issues.

Here’s the Pedigree recall and the actual FDA recall press release for all the information. 

So please check your dog food carefully - if yours is included in the recall you can return the dog food where you bought it for a complete refund.
