Mars Petcare recalls pet food
Mars Petcare U.S. has announced a voluntary recall of dry pet food products made at its Everson, Pa., facility because of possible salmonella contamination that could sicken both pets and their owners, according to media reports Monday.
The recalled products were made between Feb. 18 and
July 29, it said in a statement. The company stopped its production at its
facility on July 29 when it was alerted of a possible link between dry pet food
produced there and two isolated cases of people infected with Salmonella. “Even
though no direct link between products produced at the Everson plant and human
or pet illness has been made, we are taking this precautionary action to protect
pets and their owners,” it said.
