Contaminated pet food is being illegally sold across Gauteng, in particular in Germiston, Boksburg, Benoni and Alberton.
The products were stolen after being sent to a waste management facility in eastern Gauteng in late January and February, the company said.
“The stolen products may be contaminated with salmonella and could cause illness in pets and humans. Our overriding concern is for the health and wellbeing of shoppers and their pets,” said RCL Foods CEO Paul Cruickshank.
