Health Risks and Consumer Action
While no adverse health effects have been reported, the FDA advises consumers to dispose of the recalled pet food securely. This prevents access by other animals or wildlife.
Symptoms of salmonella in pets may include lethargy, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Even pets that appear healthy can carry the bacteria and pose a risk to other animals and humans.
If your pet has consumed any of the recalled products and exhibits these symptoms, it is crucial to contact a veterinarian immediately. The health of both pets and their owners should always be a priority when dealing with contaminated products.
