Pet parents know just how important it is for their dogs to have a well-balanced diet and get plenty of exercise. But, just as important as fulfilling those basic needs, ensuring your dog also feels loved and cared for is also a high priority. As such, many people opt to buy their dogs special treats that they can dole out as part of their behavioral training, or when they want to give their dog something a little special that they know is also safe for them to eat.
However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has shared a recall from one Florida-based dog treat maker who says that it has decided to pull a single lot of dog treats from shelves due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The possible problem was detected by a third-party testing company, which alerted the manufacturer to the issue. You can keep reading to learn more about the recall, including what you need to know in order to keep your pooch safe if you have these at home.
The FDA shared a copy of the recall issued by Elite Treats, LLC. on Feb. 24, 2026, which was the same day that the company issued the recall. According to the statement on the FDA's website, the company decided to recall its "Elite Treats Chicken Chips for Dogs," which were sold in 6-ounce black and gold bags, after testing showed that other "related" products that hadn't yet been released had tested positive for the pathogen.

According to the FDA, anyone who has purchased the treats should stop using them at once and then dispose of them in a way that will prevent pets, children, and wildlife from possibly accessing the treats and eating them. Then, the agency says you should sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the treats before thoroughly washing your own hands.
