Company announcement
Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. of San Diego, California is voluntarily recalling the cat food products listed below because they may be contaminated with salmonella. This was determined from a routine government surveillance sample from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
The products were sold nationwide in the United States through both retail and online sales. No customer complaints or illnesses have been reported and no other Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. products are affected by this recall.
Salmonella can infect cats that eat a product contaminated with salmonella bacteria. Symptoms of salmonella infection in cats may include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, fever, or excessive salivation. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian. Some cats may not seem sick, but they can spread infections to other animals and people in the household.
Salmonella can spread to humans when handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not washed their hands after coming in contact with their cat’s food, surfaces, and / or cats who have come into contact with the contaminated product. Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. In rare cases, salmonella can cause more serious conditions, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Individuals who exhibit these signs after contact with this product or a cat that has eaten this product should contact their doctor.
