MARS Petcare US, Inc. is recalling multiple brands of dry dog and cat food, including Special Kitty, Ol' Roy, and Berkley & Jensen, because the finished products tested positive for Salmonella. These products were sold in various bag sizes ranging from 3.5 lb to 52 lb at Wal-Mart stores and other retailers in 14 states. Consumers should check their pantries for the specific brands and sizes listed and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Salmonella can cause serious illness in both pets who eat the food and humans who handle the contaminated pet food. Symptoms in people include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping, while pets may experience lethargy, fever, and bloody diarrhea.
