The J.M. Smucker Company is voluntarily recalling 33,592 bags of Meow Mix Original Cat Food because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall involves 30-pound bags sold at select Walmart locations that were inadvertently released after testing presumptive positive for the bacteria. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, but the company is taking this action to protect pet health.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the contaminated food and there is risk to humans from handling the product, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands. Symptoms in pets include lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting; humans may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and fever.
