These products are made in a single, specialized facility. In cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration, P&G determined that some products made at this facility have the potential for Salmonella contamination. No Salmonella-related illnesses have been reported, but as a precautionary measure, P&G is recalling all products made at this facility.
Anyone who has purchased this food should stop feeding it to their pet immediately. Although pets are fairly resistant to Salmonella-related disease, affected pets may show decreased appetite, fever, lethargy, vomiting, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. Humans should avoid contact with suspect food and follow strict hand washing procedures. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
