Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Vitakraft Sun Seed Inc has recalled approximately 156 cases of Sunseed Vita Prima Exotics Sugar Glider Formula in 28-ounce bags because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall was initiated after the Michigan Department of Agriculture detected the bacteria during product testing. The affected pet food was distributed across nine U.S. states and Canada. Consumers should stop using this pet food immediately and return it to the retail location where it was purchased for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella poses a health risk to both the animals consuming the food and humans who handle the product, particularly if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after contact. Infected pets may experience lethargy, diarrhea, fever, or vomiting, while humans can suffer from similar symptoms and more severe complications if the bacteria spreads.
