TRENTON, N.J. -- A pet food company
is voluntarily recalling dog treats that could be contaminated with salmonella.
Nature's Recipe announced Saturday the
recall of a limited supply of its "Nature's Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits
with Real Chicken," which were manufactured at its plant in Topeka, Kan.,
and distributed nationally - primarily through pet specialty retailers.
The company says the product has the
potential to be contaminated with salmonella, which can affect animals eating
the products and pose a risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products.
Nature's Recipe officials say no pet or
human illnesses have been reported, but suggest that pet owners monitor
themselves and their dogs for signs of salmonella and seek medical care if
symptoms worsen.
The company says the recall is
precautionary, and advises consumers who bought the recalled treats to discard
them immediately.
The recalled treats were sold in 19-ounce
stand-up resealable pouches. The products included in the recall are marked
with the Lot Codes 2199TP or 2200TP and a UPC Code of 30521 51549. The pouches
also have a "Best If Used By Date" stamp of "10 11 13" and
"10 12 13."
