Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 837,287 units of various pet treats, including jerky, pig ears, and bones, have been recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall includes products branded as Nature's Deli, Boots & Barkley, BIXBI, Colorado Naturals, K9, and several others manufactured by Kasel Associates Industries. These items were distributed nationwide through major retailers like Target, Petco, and Sam's Club between April and September 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using these treats and return them for a refund to protect both their pets and themselves from illness.

Risk

Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and humans who handle the contaminated treats, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands. Symptoms in humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever, while pets may experience lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pet treat packaging for the brand names Nature's Deli, Boots & Barkley, BIXBI, Colorado Naturals, K9, Nutri-Pet, or Best Bully Sticks.
  2. Look for 'Best By' dates on the packaging that fall between April 20, 2013, and October 3, 2014, specifically looking for codes ending in 'DEN'.
  3. Verify the UPC codes on your products against the list of affected items, such as Nature's Deli Chicken Jerky (UPC 647263800208) or Boots & Barkley Roasted American Pig Ears (UPC 647263899158).
  4. Immediately stop feeding any affected treats to your pets and secure them in a sealed container or bag to prevent accidental exposure.
  5. Return the unused portion of the recalled treats to the place of purchase (such as Target, Petco, or Sam's Club) for a full refund.
  6. Thoroughly wash your hands, any surfaces the treats touched, and your pet's food bowls with soap and hot water.
  7. If your pet has consumed these products and is showing signs of illness, contact your veterinarian immediately.
  8. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-276-9300.
