PRESS
RELEASE - June 2, 2014 - Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. of Topeka,
KS is voluntarily recalling 62 bags of Science Diet® Adult Small & Toy
Breed™ dry dog food as they have the potential to be contaminated with
Salmonella. The suspect product, part of a single production run, was
distributed to 17 veterinary clinic and pet store customers in California,
Hawaii and Nevada between April 24 and May 13, 2014. Salmonella can affect
animals eating the products and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated
pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after
having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
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.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have
diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only
decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy
pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has
consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your
veterinarian.
This voluntary recall is limited to 62 15.5 lb. bags of
Science Diet® Adult Small & Toy Breed™ dry dog food with the Stock-Keeping
Unit (SKU) code, “Best before” date and production code shown below. This
product was accidentally released, as revealed during a routine inventory
reconciliation. All 17 affected customers have been contacted by Hill’s and
