Natura, a division of Proctor and Gamble, has expanded their pet food recall due to salmonella to include the following foods:
All dry products with an expiration date on or before March 24, 2014, for the following brands.
Innova
EVO
California Natural
HealthWise
Karma
The following treats are also being recalled
Innova Cat Treats
Wild Cravings Turkey & Chicken Formula Cat Treats
Wild Cravings Herring & Salmon Formula Cat Treats
Wild Cravings Weight Management Cat Treats
No other Natura biscuits/bars/”treats” are included.
So far, no pets have been reported ill, although this is likely due to the fact that veterinarians don’t tend to bother running salmonella cultures on cases of acute diarrhea.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection include decreased appetite, fever, abdominal pain, lethargy, diarrhea/ bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Pets can infect other animals via environmental contamination. Humans can be at risk from infected pets’ secretions or handling the contaminated food.
If your pet is eating recalled food, stop feeding it and seek a refund if possible.
