Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

TDBBS has recalled 65 cases of Barkworthies All Natural Chicken Vittles (dried chicken necks) because the Colorado Department of Agriculture detected Salmonella in a product sample. The recalled pet treats were sold in 16-ounce bags, with 6 bags per case, and were distributed starting in May 2014. Consumers who purchased these treats should immediately stop using them and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can infect both the pets eating the treats and the humans handling them, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to them. Healthy people infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, while pets may become lethargic and have diarrhea or vomiting.
