Summary

Scotts Miracle Gro Co is recalling approximately 260,515 units of various bird suet products because they were manufactured with peanut paste potentially contaminated with Salmonella. These products, sold under brands including Morning Song, Royal Wing, and Scotts, were distributed across 17 U.S. states and Canada. Consumers should not handle or use these products, as Salmonella can cause serious illness in both humans and animals. You should return any affected suet packages to the store where you bought them for a full refund.

Risk

The bird suet contains peanut paste that may be contaminated with Salmonella, a pathogen that can cause fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps in humans who handle the product. There is also a risk of spreading the bacteria to birds and other pets that come into contact with the suet.

What You Should Do
