Recent Recall of Popular Pet Food

Oh No, the pet food recall is getting much worst. 

On August 14,2013- Eukanuba and Iams were recalled due to Salmonelia poisoning.


Here is the complete list from the United States Food and Drug.

Be sure to wash your hands after handling pet food to avoid getting sick. This warning is to prevent harm to us not our pets.

Dogs and Cats can tolerate and will not be harmed by exposure or ingestion of small amounts of Salmonella. Their systems are set up to digest raw and aging or spoiling foods while ours are not. 

This warning is for us, the pet owner, because we might get sick from being exposed to the Salmonella not our pets. Salmonella is what causes food poisoning in humans who eat or handle contaminated food in unclean kitchens or butcher shops. 

Most animals actually can eat this food without harm.

The warning is; We can get sick from handling this food. Within 24-48 hours of touching this food you could experience a sudden upset stomach with vomiting and diarrhea that can keep you in bed with Salmonella food poisoning.  

The below information was gathered from the FDA on Aug 25 2013

August 14, 2013 - The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has voluntarily recalled specific lots of dry pet food because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. These lots were distributed in the United States and represent roughly one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of annual production. No Salmonella-related illnesses have been reported to date in association with these product lots.
