There is a 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 surface exposed to these products.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy people infected with <em>Salmonella<\/em> and\/or <em>Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.<\/p>\n<p>The affected products are sold in 2 lb chubs and can be identified with the following manufacturing codes:<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped table-condensed\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Lot #mfd ga8516<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Beef for dogs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UPC code 854298001009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped table-condensed\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Lot #mfd ga81216<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kitten grind<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UPC code 854298001016<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The affected products were distributed to retail stores in the following states:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NC<\/li>\n<li>SC<\/li>\n<li>GA<\/li>\n<li>FL<\/li>\n<li>AZ<\/li>\n<li>TX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>About <em>Salmonella<\/em> and <em>Listeria<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Salmonella<\/em> and <em>Listeria<\/em> can affect animals eating the product and there is a 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 surface exposed to these products.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy people infected with <em>Salmonella<\/em> and <em>Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare provider. Consumers should also follow the simple handling tips on the package.<\/p>\n<p>What caused the Recall<\/p>\n<p>This recall was initiated after the FDA received two complaints associated with these products, including one complaint of two kitten illnesses and one complaint of a puppy death. Subsequent testing by the FDA of a 2 lb chub of beef for dogs and kitten grind collected at a veterinary office revealed the presence of <em>Salmonella<\/em> and <em>Listeria monocytogenes<\/em>. There is no direct evidence linking these unfortunate instances to contaminated product.<\/p>\n<p>This recall is being made with the knowledge of the US Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p>What to do<\/p>\n<p>Consumers who have purchased the above lots of beef for dogs or kitten grind are urged to stop feeding them and return products to the place of purchase for a full refund. Or dispose of them immediately.
