Salmonella can affect cats eating a product
contaminated with Salmonella bacteria and can spread to
humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they
have not washed their hands after having contact with their cat's
foods, food surfaces and/or cats that have been in contact with the
impacted product. Healthy people infected with Salmonella
should monitor themselves for some or all of the following
symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal
cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more
serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis,
arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this
product should contact their healthcare providers.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection in cats may include
vomiting or diarrhea. Some cats may not develop diarrhea, but may
have a decreased appetite, fever, and excessive salivation. If your
pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms,
please contact your veterinarian. Some cats may not appear
sick but can spread infection to other animals and humans in the
household.

reactions should call 1-888-569-6728, Monday through Friday,
