Everyone in To throw the team has at least one furry four-legged friend, be it a meow monster or a barky boy, and we love our pets very much. We know you love yours too. That’s why you may want to take a look at your pantry to see if a new dog food recall affects you and your Good Dog.
Bravo Packing in Carneys Point, New Jersey, released a recall of its Performance Dog ground beef and pet food due to concerns that these items may be contaminated with salmonella and listeria. A routine inspection by the FDA found that samples of both products tested positive for both bacteria.
Symptoms in dogs include lethargy, bloody stools, diarrhea, fever or vomiting. They may also experience decreased appetite or abdominal pain. But they may also have no symptoms. As a pet owner to another, if your pet is showing a difference in behavior, it is always a good idea to take him to a checkout to detect something before it gets worse. I was there.
Humans can also develop symptoms if they handle the feed without washing their hands or surfaces. Obviously, everyone should be especially careful, but young children, older people and pregnant women are at risk of a serious salmonella infection. Symptoms involve abdominal cramps, diarrhea (also possibly with blood), nausea, vomiting and fever.
If these items are what you feed your pets, throw them away. If you have any questions, call Bravo Packing at 856-299-1044. Both ground beef and Performance Dog products come in two-pound and five-pound sleeves and were available on store shelves or via shipping.
