Continue reading to learn all about the Foodynamics pet food recall and which brands under the company umbrella are under fire for selling food contaminated with Salmonella.
The Foodynamics pet food company recalled several brands due to Salmonella contamination.
According to the Company Announcement on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) website, the Foodynamics pet food company is recalling freeze-dried pet treats sold under the Raw Dog Barkery, BellePepper Cats, Kanu Pets, and What’s In the Bowl brands. Each of the products being recalled involves chicken hearts being manufactured into treat form.
It's almost as if chickens should never be utilized as food — for humans or companion animals — due to the safety risks and cruelty towards them.
The following Foodynamics pet food products were recalled:
- Raw Dog Barkery Treats for Cats and Dogs: Freeze Dried Whole Chicken Hearts
- What’s In the Bowl: Freeze Dried Whole Chicken Hearts
- BellePepper Cats: Freeze Dried Chicken Heart Slices
- BellePepper Cats: Freeze Dried Sample Treats (Unpackaged & Unlabeled)
- Kanu Pets: Freeze Dried Chicken Heart Raw Treats.
"Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting," according to the Company Announcement on the FDA website. "Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian."
The recalled pet food products originated in Wisconsin and were disseminated to retail stores throughout Wisconsin, New York, and Florida. The affected Raw Dog Barkery products were distributed to SimplyDried Treats as well as to Magpies Gourmet Dog Treats in Wisconsin.
"Foodynamics successfully traced 100% of the product distribution and has contacted all direct customers. No adverse health effects have been reported in pets or humans to date," per the Company Announcement on the FDA website.
If you happen upon a related bag of cat or dog food treats and observe that your furry companion is acting differently, you should consult your veterinarian or emergency care facility immediately.
For those consumers who still have questions, information is available. "For more information or any questions, contact Teresa Perry at info@foodynamics.com or call 262-421-5339, Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST," per the Company Announcement on the FDA website.
