66 People Sickened By Salmonella Strain Linked To Dog Food

A salmonella outbreak going back 18 months affecting 66 people across 18 states is the same strain found in recalled Krasdale Gravy dry dog food and Red Flannel adult dry dog food. The specific lots recalled are found here.

Both dogs and cats can get Salmonellosis with symptoms of lethargy, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Humans are at risk of infection and the CDC has information on the signs and treatment of Salmonellosis in humans.

Wal-Mart Chicken Jerky Tests Positive For Melamine

Tests have found melamine in the chicken jerky Wal-Mart removed from shelves in July. The affected brands are Chicken Jerky Strips from Import-Pingyang Pet Product Co. and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading. As reported before, Wal-Mart removed these treats after receiving customer complaints, but they didn’t make any announcement to warn consumers. At this point, the FDA still doesn’t have anything about it on their site.  Super.
