Salmonella Pet Food Recall: 74,700 Hartz Natural Beef Dog Treats

In the latest salmonella scare, it is not eggs but dog treats that have fallen victim. 74,700 bags of Hartz Naturals Beef Dog Treats have been voluntarily recalled. Medical News Today reports:

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) announced that The Hartz Mountain Corporation has voluntarily recalled 74,800 8-ounce bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs which may be tained with Salmonella. Infection with salmonella, known as salmonellosis, can affect pets, such as dogs and cats, as well as humans - it is caused by Salmonella bacteria. Pets may develop gastroenteritis, spontaneous abortions, and septicemia. It is a zoonotic disease; it can be transmitted from the dog to a human.

Your dog is much better snacking on 100% natural treats rather than Hartz products anyways.
