Mars Petcare Recalled Pedigree Dog Food

Mars Petcare has recalled 20-pound bags of Pedigree dry dog food due to possible Salmonella poisoning. One hundred bags of Pedigree Complete Nutrition Small Crunchy Bites have been recalled. Mars also makes Nutro pet food but it is not included in the recall.

The affected bags of food have the “best by” date July 7, 2009.

“Our primary concern is the safety and welfare of our pet owners and their pets,” Mars said in a statement.

The company said a “component” tested positive for salmonella and was accidentally shipped to a California plant and used in 100 bags of the Small Crunchy Bites food. “Although the finished product tested negative and we have received no reports of illness of pets or their owners, out of abundance of caution we are issuing a voluntary recall of the limited number of bags of Pedigree Complete Nutrition Small Crunchy Bites containing the component in question,” the statement said.

Consumers are being advised to return the food to stores for a full refund.
