Mid America Pet Food, based in Mount Pleasant, Texas, has issued a voluntary recall of three lots of Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Select Beef Meal & Brown Rice Formula produced at its Mount Pleasant facility. The recall is due to the potential contamination of Salmonella.
Salmonella can pose health risks to animals consuming the contaminated food and also to humans who may handle the pet products without thoroughly washing their hands afterward.
Pets affected by Salmonella may exhibit symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some may only show signs of decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Even seemingly healthy pets can carry the infection and transmit it to other animals or humans.
