The ongoing Salmonella outbreak related to peanut-based products has resulted in the U.S. recall of certain pet food products that may have been distributed to Canada.
Handling pet food products contaminated with Salmonella could lead to human illness; therefore, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is helping inform pet owners of this issue and urges them to discard any recalled product immediately. As a general precaution, Canadians are reminded to wash their hands with warm water and soap any time they handle pet food.
The CFIA is working with industry and U.S. authorities to closely monitor the situation. The following links provide up to date information about recalled pet food products:
Pet owners who are unsure if their pet food is affected should contact manufacturers directly for more information.
