Health risks from salmonella and metal contamination

Salmonella poses serious risks to both pets and humans. Dogs infected with salmonella may experience lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain, though healthy pets can also carry the bacteria without symptoms. Humans exposed to salmonella can develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever, with potential risks for severe complications such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis. Metal fragments can cause injuries to the mouth and digestive tract if swallowed, depending on their size and shape.

What pet owners should do now

Pet owners who purchased the recalled products should stop feeding them to their animals immediately and dispose of the product safely. Consumers should return Fromm products to their retailer. For Oma’s Pride, pet owners can contact the company for a full refund and should wash and sanitize all pet bowls, cups and storage containers. Fromm customers can call 1-800-325-6331 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT, or email [email protected]. Pet owners should wash hands thoroughly after handling contaminated products to prevent human infection.

Final Thoughts

Two separate recalls in one week highlight ongoing contamination risks in pet food. Pet owners in 11 states and Canada should check their pantries and contact retailers or manufacturers immediately if they have affected products.
