Del Monte Corp: Oven Baked Chicken Biscuits Recalled for Potential Salmonella Contamination

Agency Publication Date: January 11, 2013

Summary

Del Monte Corp is recalling approximately 4,282 cases (totaling about 25,692 units) of Nature's Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect pets eating the treats, and there is also a risk to humans who handle the contaminated pet products, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands after contact. This 19-ounce pet treat was distributed to retailers nationwide. Consumers should stop feeding these specific treats to their pets and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella contamination poses a health risk to both pets and humans; pets may show signs of lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while humans handling the treats may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever.
