Summary

The Honest Kitchen is recalling approximately 23,596 units of its Verve, Zeal, and Thrive pet food products due to potential Salmonella contamination. These dehydrated pet food products were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and in Canada through various retail channels and online. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected lots and return any unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The pet food may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause serious illness in both the animals eating the food and the humans handling it. Symptoms of infection include fever, diarrhea, and vomiting; in pets, look for signs such as lethargy, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain.

  2. Verify the specific Item Codes and UPCs: Verve 4lb (Item V4, UPC 183413000895) or 10lb (Item VR, UPC 183413000178); Free Thrive 1oz sample (Item TM, UPC 183413000819); Zeal 4lb (Item Z4, UPC 183413001953) or 10lb (Item ZR, UPC 183413001915).
  3. Immediately stop feeding the affected batches to your pets and handle the packaging with gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after contact.
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
