Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Smokehouse Pet Products has recalled approximately 350 units of various Beefy Munchies and Beefy Bites dog treats because the products tested positive for Salmonella. These treats, made from beef lungs, were distributed across multiple U.S. states and internationally to Canada, Aruba, the Bahamas, and the United Arab Emirates. The issue was discovered after the Colorado Department of Agriculture conducted retail sampling. Consumers who purchased these treats should stop using them immediately and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in both pets who consume the treats and humans who handle them, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after contact. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while humans may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever.
