PET POISON ALERT: FDA RECALLS OF CAT FOOD & PEANUT BUTTER
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued two recalls pertaining to products contaminated with the bacteriaSalmonella—Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter carrying the code “2111” on the jar lid, and 3 1/2-ounce and one-pound packages of Wild Kitty raw all natural, frozen cat food, chicken with clam recipe. As of this writing, there have been no reports of illness pertaining to either product in pets.
As many pets—dogs in particular—enjoy an occasional peanut butter treat, we caution pet parents against feeding recalled peanut butter to pets. Affected jars should be thrown out, and extra caution should be taken to ensure that pets do not have access to trash receptacles containing the discarded peanut butter. Similar steps should be followed for the contaminated cat food.
“Most healthy adult dogs and cats are less susceptible toSalmonella infection than humans,” says ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Senior Toxicologist, Dr. Eric Dunayer. “However, it is still possible for problems to occur, so we recommend discarding any product involved in this recall.”
