Michigan Alert: Salmonella and Listeria Contaminated Pet Food

This pet food company has not issued a recall even though the FDA has urged them to do so.

The FDA has urged the company to issue a recall.  However, the company has not taken any action according to the Food and Drug Administration.  If you have any items on the list above the FDA recommends that you throw them away in a secure container to prevent wild animals from getting sick and spreading illness. Do not feed these items to your pets or donate them.
