The lots of the 2 pound chicken blend were distributed to retail pet stores in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington through pet food retailers. Two hundred and eighty-two cases of this product were sold between 2/1/17 – 5/5/17. The products are sold frozen in 2 pound bags.

Salmonella infections in pets can cause lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets may not show symptoms but can be carriers. Humans can contract the illness by handling contaminated food, or by petting a dog or cat that has shed bacteria on its coat.
If you purchased these products, do not feed them to your pets. Throw them away in a sealed or double bagged container so other animals can’t get at them, or take them back to the place of purchase for a refund.
