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."
