Protect your Little ones, Salmonella recall of Eukanuba and Iams dry pet foods

 

 

 

August 15, 2013

Due to possible Salmonella contamination, Proctor & Gamble (P&G) issued a voluntary recall on August 14, 2013, for certain lots of Iams and Eukanuba pet foods. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) press release, the lots included in the voluntary recall represent "roughly one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of annual production."

 

These Iams and Eukanuba products were processed during a 10 day window at a single manufacturing site. Because P&G’s routine testing determined that some products made during this timeframe have the potential for Salmonella contamination, this voluntary recall has been issued. All lots affected are dry pet foods under the brand name Iams or Eukanuba. The recall does not impact treats or other items in the product line.

Because Salmonella contaminated foods can affect both animals and humans, owners are advised to watch for symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Pets with Salmonella may be lethargic and have a decreased appetite, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.

As a precautionary measure, consumers who purchased a product listed on the table included in the FDA press release should stop using the product, discard it and contact P&G by calling 800-208-0172 or visiting www.iams.com or www.eukanuba.com.
