What You Need to Know About Salmonella and Listeria Monocytogenes Poisoning
If your pet has a Salmonella infection, they may become lethargic and have fever, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. Some less obvious side effects are decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. If your pet has become infected but is still otherwise healthy, they can still be carriers of Salmonella and infect other animals or humans. If you know your pet has consumed the recalled product or is experiencing these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
Listeria monocytogenes infections in pets are rare but can cause signs like diarrhea, anorexia, fever, nervous, muscular, and respiratory issues, miscarriage, depression, shock, and death.
Pets can be carriers even without signs, spreading the bacteria through their feces and saliva to their environment and other pets or people. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and shows signs, contact your veterinarian.
Important Message for People Who Handled These Foods
There is a risk to humans from handling these contaminated foods, especially if they have not washed their hands after having contact with the products or surfaces exposed to these pet foods.
Healthy people infected with Listeria monocytogenes may experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, and diarrhea. The infection can spread to the nervous system, causing meningitis and other serious illnesses. Pregnant women, the young, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems are especially vulnerable.
If you show signs of infection after contact with recalled products or a pet that has consumed them, contact your healthcare provider.
Handling Dangers & Precautions
If you bought these products, take immediate action:
Do not feed this product to your pets or any animals.
Do not sell or donate the recalled bags.
Return the food to where you bought it, or dispose of it safely so that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access it.
