Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

American Health Kennels Inc is recalling numerous varieties of Bark Bars pet treats because they were manufactured with peanut butter supplied by the Peanut Corporation of America, which has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall affects a wide range of products including Peanut Butter Crunch, Creamy Peanut Butter, and various holiday-themed treat mailers and stockings. These products were distributed throughout the United States and Canada and are identified by 'Best By' dates ranging from March 2008 through December 2009. Owners should immediately check their pet food supplies for these specific items to prevent illness in their animals and themselves.

Risk

The treats may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause serious illness in pets and can also pose a health risk to humans who handle the contaminated pet products. Salmonella can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever; in pets, look for signs like lethargy, decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pet treat containers and packaging for 'Bark Bars' or 'Animal Snackers' brands with 'Best By' dates of 3/2008 through 8/2009 and 10/2009 through 12/2009.
  2. Identify your specific product using the UPC codes on the back of the package, such as Creamy Peanut Butter (725999522004), Peanut Butter Crunch (725999001103 or 725999161104), and Bark Bars Peanut Butter in various sizes (UPCs ending in 000168, 333105, 005064, 001257, or 530009).
  3. Stop feeding these recalled treats to your pets immediately and dispose of them in a secure trash can where other animals cannot access them.
  4. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling any recalled treats or cleaning any surfaces or bowls that came into contact with the products.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact American Health Kennels Inc for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA consumer complaint coordinator or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
