Hartz Mountain Corp. is recalling 4,368 units of Wardley Gold Fish Flake food (1 ounce / 28 grams) because the product tested positive for Salmonella. This recall was initiated after 2,448 units from a specific lot were mistakenly shipped to 10 distribution centers outside of the company's direct control. Consumers who have purchased this fish food should check their packaging immediately for matching identification codes and should not use the product.
The fish food is contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause serious illness in humans who handle the product or touch contaminated surfaces without proper handwashing. While the risk to the fish themselves is lower, the bacteria poses a significant cross-contamination risk to pet owners and household members.
