Seattle Dogspot did some sleuthing and discovered that Iams "made no mention of the recall on its website. The Dogspot writer then posted a message on the Iams Facebook page, asking if it was going to post info about the matter on its website (the posting, you should know, first appeared on the PetSmart corporate website).

Dogspot received this response:

"Robert, thanks for your post. We've requested retailers to remove a few lots of Shakeables treats from their shelves because they have the potential to get moldy. Clearly, these do not meet our quality standards. We consulted with the FDA before we took any action and have followed their guidance on proper notification procedures. If you have more questions, please give us a call at 1-877-894-4458. Janet"

Editor's Note: Iams has now remedied this, and the following message is available on its website: 

"Last week, we posted on the P&G web site a voluntary retrieval of specific lots of Iams Shakeables (see above). Today, we are notifying retailers that the FDA has revised their previous assessment from voluntary product retrieval to voluntary product recall. No additional lots of Shakeables have been added; this is a classification update only."

The patties were distributed to retail stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, California, Minnesota and Tennessee.

According to the FDA, "pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and have these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian." 

Interestingly, Steve's Real Food CEO Gary Bursell says the problem could be the result of a problem with the bags and is not a sanitation issue, according to Pet Product News.

“We use a biodegradable film on the bags, and we've had problems sealing the patty bags, not the nuggets,” Bursell said.

“We sanitize our production facility between every product run,” he adds. “Our plant operates just the same as any human food facility, and everything we've got out there is clean stuff.”

The recall affects about 240 bags, or about 1,200 patties. The recalled product comes in green-and-cream-colored biodegradable film bags with lot number 209-10-27-13, with an expiration date of October 27, 2013.

If you've fed your dog the snack, be aware of the signs of illness. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: 

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected, but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

Also, as there is a risk to humans handling infected products, look after yourself as well: 

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some, or all, of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their health care providers.

Kasel is recalling all lot numbers of the sticks after tests by Colorado's Department of Agriculture found salmonella in the following four lots: BESTBY20APR2014DEN, BESTBY01JUN2014DEN, BESTBY23JUN2014DEN, and BESTBY23SEP2014DEN.

According to the FDA: 

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has any of these signs, please contact your veterinarian.

The FDA also warns that people can be affected as well: 

Humans are at risk for salmonella poisoning from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the pet products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Bully sticks are dried bull penises. They are known by a variety of names -- beef pizzles, beef sticks, pizzle sticks, steer sticks -- but they are all dried bull penises.

Look for the following information on the bag:

According to a company press release, a sample from this batch had tested positive for Salmonella.

Here's what to look out for if your pet is sick, according to that press release: 

"Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian."
