"Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Pet Food Expands, Affecting Infants and Prompting Recall"

Mid America Pet Food is expanding its voluntary recall to include additional dog and cat food products due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The affected products, including various brands, were distributed throughout the United States. Salmonella can pose health risks to both animals and humans, and symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Consumers are advised to contact their healthcare providers if they exhibit any signs of illness. Retailers and distributors are instructed to remove the recalled products from their inventory and destroy them, while pet owners should not feed the recalled food to their pets and should take precautions to prevent contamination.
