The dog food had been "targeted for destruction" by Freshpet because of potential salmonella contamination, but instead it inadvertently was sent to a limited number of Publix stores in Florida, South Carolina and Georgia, and to a few Target stores in Arizona and California, between June 7 and June 10, 2021.
"Most of the product was intercepted at retailer distribution warehouses and not delivered to retail stores," the company said in its recall announcement.
