Reason

The FDA is reporting that Midwestern Pet Foods is recalling specific expiration dates of certain dog and cat food brands produced at its Monmouth, Illinois production facility due to potential contamination with Salmonella.

Clinical Signs

Salmonella

Salmonella can cause illness in both animals and humans coming into contact with contaminated products.

Humans

In humans, Salmonella infection can cause:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
  • Abdominal cramping
  • Fever

In rare instances, Salmonella can cause more serious conditions, including:

  • Arterial infections
  • Endocarditis (an infection of the heart muscle)
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle pain
  • Eye irritation
  • Urinary tract symptoms

If you have come into contact with any of the affected products, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling and sanitize any surfaces, dishes, containers, and/or utensils that may have touched the product.

If you or a loved experience any of the symptoms above, contact your healthcare provider.

Pets

In pets, Salmonella infection can cause:

  • Lethargy
  • Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Decreased appetite
  • Abdominal pain

Infected pets can shed Salmonella in their feces and saliva, posing additional risk for family members, both human and animal.

If your pet has consumed any of the affected product, even if they are not showing signs of Salmonella infection, contact your veterinarian.

What You Should Do If You Purchased the Affected Product

If you have come into contact with any of the affected products, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling and sanitize any surfaces, dishes, containers, and/or utensils that may have touched the product.

Dispose of the recalled product in a way that no other pet or animal can ingest it.

If you or a loved one display any of the symptoms of Salmonella infection above, contact your healthcare provider.

If you believe your pet may have ingested any of the affected products, please contact your veterinarian immediately. With Salmonella infection, pets may be able to spread the bacteria through their feces and saliva, even if they are not showing signs of infection.

Clean and disinfect all bowls, utensils, food prep surfaces, pet bedding, toys, floors, and any other surfaces that the food or pet may have had contact with.

Safely dispose of any feces left in parks, yards, or other shared outdoor spaces since the bacteria can spread through feces.
