Summary

Keys Manufacturing Company, Inc. is recalling approximately 5,381 boxes of Pig Ears for Pet Treats due to possible contamination with Salmonella. The recall affects 100-count boxes of All Natural, Smoked, or Regular flavor pig ears distributed across 15 states. Consumers should check for boxes labeled 'PET PRODUCTS' or those containing individually wrapped ears labeled as 'Petniks Smoked Pig Ears' or 'Porkniks Smoked Pork Hide Chips'. You should return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The treats may be 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 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever, especially if hands are not thoroughly washed after contact with the treats or surfaces they touched.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your storage for 100-count boxes of 'Pig Ears for Pet Treats' from Keys Manufacturing Company, Inc. Look for boxes that have a checkbox indicating 'SMOKED' or 'REGULAR' on the sides.
  2. Identify the product by looking for barcode sticker '7 61094 15000 1' and the text '100 Count Natural Pig Ears' on the box.
  3. Check for individually wrapped treats inside the boxes that may be labeled 'Petniks Smoked Pig Ears' (UPC 0 30243 89340 4) or 'Petniks PORKNIKS SMOKED PORK HIDE CHIPS' (UPC 8934).
  4. Stop using the treats immediately and ensure they are kept out of reach of pets and children.
  5. Return the product to the retail location where it was purchased for a full refund or contact Keys Manufacturing Company, Inc. at their Paris, Illinois location for further instructions.
  6. Thoroughly wash your hands and sanitize any surfaces or containers that came into contact with the recalled pig ears.
  7. Contact the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-276-9300 for additional questions regarding this recall.
