Overview
Mid America Pet Food, based in Mount Pleasant, Texas, has voluntarily recalled multiple Victor Super Premium Dog Food products with Best by Dates lines before 10/31/2024. The potential contamination by Salmonella was detected after a third-party conducted random product testing from three lots which tested positive on October 30, 2023. As of November, 9, 2023, the recall expanded to other Mid America Pet Food product lines including recalled Wayne Feeds Dog Food products and recalled Member’s Mark Dog Food products.
Implications for Pets and Humans:
Salmonella can have harmful effects not only on pets but also on humans. Here’s what to watch out for:
- For Humans: Symptoms can range from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, to more severe issues like arterial infections, arthritis, and urinary tract symptoms.
- For Pets: Signs include lethargy, diarrhea (potentially bloody), vomiting, decreased appetite, and fever.
It is essential to note that while pets can exhibit these symptoms after consumption, healthy pets can also act as carriers, posing a risk to other animals and humans.
Immediate Actions to Take:
- Retailers are urged to remove these specific lots from shelves and inventory.
- Do not donate or sell these products.
- Consumers should avoid feeding the recalled product to their pets.
- Securely dispose of the product ensuring it is inaccessible to kids, pets, and wildlife.
- Wash and sanitize food bowls and storage containers.
