The FDA has issued a recall of several pet food brands due to possible salmonella contamination. Foodynamics, the pet food company, is voluntarily recalling specific lots of Raw Dog Barkery, BellePepper Cats, Kanu Pets, and What’s In the Bowl brand freeze-dried pet treats.
According to the FDA, pets infected with salmonella may exhibit symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets may only show decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Additionally, infected pets that appear healthy can still be carriers and infect other animals or humans.
Humans are at risk of infection if they handle the product and do not thoroughly wash their hands.
The recall is a precautionary measure to protect both pets and humans from potential salmonella infection.
