Summary

Brutus and Barnaby, LLC has recalled various sizes of their Brutus & Barnaby 100% Natural Pig Ears dog treats because they tested positive for Salmonella. Approximately 23,412 bags of treats are affected, including 8-count, 12-count, 25-count, and 100-count packages. The issue was discovered after sampling by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, and the firm has voluntarily initiated this recall to protect pet health and safety.

Risk

The treats are contaminated with Salmonella, which poses a serious health risk to both the pets who consume them and the humans who handle the products. Salmonella can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps in humans, while pets may experience lethargy, decreased appetite, and vomiting.
