A pet food company based in Florida has issued a precautionary recall due to the possibility of Salmonella contamination.
On Feb. 24, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Elite Treats LLC is recalling a single lot of 6-ounce bags of Elite Treats Chicken Chips for Dogs, stating the products may be contaminated with Salmonella following third-party laboratory testing.
The recalled Elite Treats Chicken Chips for Dogs were sold to Florida Hardware, LLC, which distributed the treats to feed stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Customers are urged to check to see if they purchased the 6-ounce black and gold bags that include the lot number 24045 and an expiration date of 04/2027 marked on the back side.
According to PetMD, salmonella infects the gastrointestinal tract of pets. It can cause a condition called salmonellosis, which is uncommon, typically only affecting dogs with weakened immune systems or puppies.
