Voluntary Iams & Eukanuba Dog & Cat Food Recalls

August 14, 2013 – Proctor & Gamble announced a voluntary recall of select Dry Iams and Eukanuba products.  Although to date, no health effects have been reported, there is the potential for contamination.  The affected product was distributed to select retailers across the United States, mostly on the East Coast.  These limited products were made during a 10 day window, at one of their US manufacturing sites on a single production line.  All retailers have been notified of the affected products and are working to remove them.  If by chance, one of these affected products got inro your hands, please follow the steps below.

Salmonella can affet animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.  Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms.  Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting.  Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.  Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans.  If your pet has consumed the recalled product and have these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
