Accidentally shipped
According to the company a “component” tested positive for salmonella and was accidentally shipped to a California plant and used in 100 bags of the Small Crunchy Bites food.
“Although the finished product tested negative and we have received no reports of illness of pets or their owners, out of abundance of caution we are issuing a voluntary recall of the limited number of bags of Pedigree Complete Nutrition Small Crunchy Bites containing the component in question,” the statement said.
A full refund will be given, consumers are advised to return the food to stores.
