Gaines Pet Treats LLC voluntarily recalls 204 pieces of 5-ounce bags of “Gaines Family Farmstead Chicken Chips” dog treats on November 22 due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) reveals, “The potential for contamination was noted after a third party tested and identified contamination in a related, unreleased lot of the same product.”
The recalled Gaines Family Farmstead Chicken Chips dog treats were distributed through online retailers and into several small independent pet retailers in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
Furthermore, they come in a 5-ounce bag marked on the back side with lot number 20061124 and an expiration date of 12/11/25.
The FDA also noted that this is the only lot number identified as potentially contaminated, and no other lots or products are affected by this recall.
Fortunately, no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the recalled product.
The FDA also reports that Gaines Pet Treats “has made every effort possible to recover the potentially contaminated products.”
The FDA is urging consumers who have purchased the recalled product to stop using them. Consumers may also contact Gaines at [email protected] for an immediate refund or replacement.
When it comes to products possibly contaminated with Salmonella, the FDA always urges consumers to carefully and properly dispose the product where no other animals or humans can access it.
Additionally, consumers must also clean and disinfect all pet supplies and surfaces that the recalled product had contact with.
Animals who eat contaminated products can get infected with Salmonella. Meanwhile, humans who handled the products are at risk, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after contact with the product or any surface exposed to the products.
