The FSA added, “If you have purchased any of the above products, do not use it. Instead, return them to the store they were purchased from for a full refund.
“When handling and serving raw animal feed, it is always recommended that utensils and food bowls be cleaned thoroughly after use.
“Consumers should wash their hands thoroughly after handling raw pet food, utensils, or coming in contact with animals’ faces.
“Raw pet food should be stored separately from any food (especially finished food). When thawing, care must be taken to avoid cross-contamination of food and surfaces. “
The US Food and Drug Administration said, “Salmonellosis is uncommon in dogs and cats, but they can be carriers of the bacteria.
“This means that even if pets do not show salmonellosis symptoms, they can excrete salmonella in their stool and saliva and then transfer the bacteria to the home environment and to people and other pets in the household.
“Dogs can spread the bacteria when they kiss people or have stool accidents in the house, among other things. Pet waste from sick and healthy pets can be a source of infection for people.”
The FSA added, “If there is a problem with a food product that means it shouldn’t be sold, it can be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product . “
It comes just weeks after several batches of cat food were recalled for possible association with fatal cat disease.
The FSA and the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have warned cat owners not to feed their pets deep-fry food produced on behalf of the Fold Hill Foods brands.
This is due to an outbreak of pancytopenia, a disease that can be fatal in cats.
The condition causes a rapid decrease in the number of blood cells.
