Home – Technology – Food alert in the U.S. and Canada: thousands of boxes of frozen blueberries may be contaminated with dangerous substances

That simple reward after a walk now comes with a public health warning. On February 24, 2026, the FDA posted a recall for a single lot of “Elite Treats Chicken Chips for Dogs” after the product was flagged for possible salmonella contamination.

What makes this story stand out is that the danger is not limited to pets because contaminated pet food can also expose people and spread bacteria around the home.

The recall applies to 6-ounce black and gold bags marked with lot number 24045 and an expiration date of April 2027. According to the FDA notice, the treats went to Florida Hardware, which distributed them to feed stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

No illnesses had been reported when the alert was issued, but that is exactly why checking a pantry now matters more than waiting for symptoms later.
