Proctor & Gamble (P&G) has expanded a recent voluntary recall of certain
specialized dry pet foods due to a risk of contamination with Salmonella. The
foods recalled include all dry sizes and varieties of Iams Veterinary Dry
Formulas, Eukanuba Naturally Wild, Eukanuba Pure, and Eukanuba Custom Care
Sensitive Skin with "best by" dates between July 1, 2010 and December 1, 2011.
All UPC codes are included in the recall.
These products are all made at the same facility. There is a risk of
contamination in some of the foods made in this facility, so out of an excess of
caution, P&G is recalling all the products made at this facility.
Consumers who have purchased the foods listed should discard them immediately.
Note that people handling dry pet food can become infected with Salmonella,
especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact
with surfaces exposed to this product. Salmonella can cause nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. It can on rare
occasions also result in arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle
pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting any of
these symptoms after having contact with one of the recalled products should
consult a health care provider immediately.
Pets with Salmonella infections may suffer from decreased appetite, fever, and
abdominal pain, as well as diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. If
your pet has consumed any of the recalled products and exhibits these symptoms,
please contact your veterinarian immediately.
