Dog Treat Recall
Bailey's Choice LLC. in Waleska, GA is recalling its 5 oz. packages of
chicken treats because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella,
an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in
young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune
systems.
I certainly hope none of your pets were affected by this recall.
The Bailey's Choice Dog Treats included in this expanded recall are the following five-ounce packages of dog treats:
- 100% Chicken Treat, lot # "Jun 2 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Chicken Treat, lot # "Jun 3 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Chicken Breast Treat, lot # "Jun 4 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Chicken Treat, lot # "Jun 15 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Chicken Treat, lot # "Jul 8 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Chicken Treat, lot # "Jul 11 2013" sold in Georgia only
- 100% Teriyaki Chicken Treat, lot # 132881 sold in Georgia and North Carolina
The
potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) revealed the presence of Salmonella in some 5 oz. packages of chicken treats.
Production
of the product has been suspended while GDA and the company continue
their investigation as to the source of the problem. The FDA is
monitoring the situation.
Consumers who
have purchased 5 oz. packages of Bailey's Choice chicken treats are
urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at 770-881-0526 between
9:00AM and 6:00PM EST.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience
fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal
pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can
result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more
severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis
I certainly hope none of your pets were affected by this recall.
You are always so good o point this out. xoxox
