Pet Carousel recalls treats

petblog — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 05:01:39 +0000

Bad news from Pet Carousel. Some of their treats may be infected with salmonella. Bad news for you AND your pet. Here’s some information from the Food and Drug Administration:

Pet Carousel has initiated a recall of all Pig Ears and all varieties of Beef Hoof pet treats because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella. The problem was discovered after FDA testing found positive results for Salmonella in pig ears and beef hoof products.

These products were recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect both humans and animals. People handling dry pet food and/or pet treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the treats or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Check out the full list of products here.
