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.
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.
