The news alert came from the FOOD and Drug Administration, apparently is a release from the company that makes these.
fine but the concern is for people who handle the dog food which has signs of sam and ella. It's not any different than the rule to wash your hands after handling raw turkey or chicken.
Since I'm on the way to PetsMart anyway...recommended brands?
Any recommendations on what to feed our cat now that she's out of cat food? I'm not sure of what is safe at the moment.
I agree mercat. The potential for humans is what is scary here. My husband has been very ill, and he gives my dogs treats. Fortunately, we haven't had these. And, they are not getting ANY kind of food anymore I don't make myself.
Check out this thread, then some of the links posted. Very good info.

Pinging freeper friends I know, or think, might have pets.
How about both?
Oh my. Where is this all going to end? Thanks for the heads up.
I agree with this. I think it a test run just to see if they could. Muslims consider dogs and cats 'unclean', and want them destroyed. As a pet owner I know that if this is what has happened, there will be blood in the streets. What's next? Pepsi? Coke? Budweiser?
Right now, I'm cooking for all of my dogs and cats, or reading every label for 'Wheat Gluten' When this is over, if the pet food industry wants me to trust them again I want to see the CEO on TV eating the product, or I'm not buying it.

Fancy Feast slices with gravy has "wheat Gluten" in it, and I'm not going to take a chance. I just took 10 cans back to the store, and they didn't give me any problems about it.
Check your labels before feeding anything to your furry friends.
I'm a big jerky eater, (Boy,That can be taken a few different ways, huh?)... Love the stuff.
But several times a year I hear of recalls of the stuff intended for people due to salmonella or other similar nasty bugs, so I'd imagine that it is more common in pet treats due to slightly less rigid standards.
I was about to ask the very same question! My cats are getting tuna until this all settles down.
You think so? What will we call this new tactic they've chosen... "hasslism"? "worryism"? "irritationism"?
Somehow I don't think it'll have the same impact as blowing things up and killing people.
The thing about terror attacks is, they don't look like regular, everyday mishaps. Salmonella is a very common bacteria.
"...Importantly, no Purina brand dry pet foods are affected by the recall including ALPO Prime Cuts dry. In addition, no other Purina dog food products, no Purina cat food products, Purina treat products or Purina Veterinary Diet products are included in this recall, nor have been impacted by the contaminated wheat gluten supply."
This is what happens when we "outsource" to China.
