Customers with: 3lb Meaty Rox bags; 4lb Slider Bags; 6.5lb Doggie Dozen Patty Bags; or 7lb Meaty Rox Bags should look on the back lower left corner for a sticker with lot No. 3652 and expiration date of Oct. 11, 2018.
The affected lot went to distributors in: Florida, California, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Vermont. From there, it went to other specialty retail stores in countless states.. so check yours regardless of where you live!!
ALSO….
OC Raw Dog’s 3.2oz bags of Freeze Dried Sardines have been recalled on size profiling. The FDA has determined that salt-cured, dried, or fermented un-eviscerated fish larger than 5″ have been linked to outbreaks of botulism poisoning between 1981 and 1987 and again in 1991. Because OC Raw Dog Freeze Dried Sardines are larger than 5 inches there is a possible health risk. The aforementioned sardines were found to have 6.5″ fish in the batch. Sold by: Florida, California, Texas, Maryland, Minnesota, Colorado and Pennsylvania specialty pet stores.
Pets with listeria can suffer from diarrhea, fever, anorexia, muscle, respiratory problems, even death. Botulism can cause dizziness, blurred or double vision, trouble with speaking or swallowing, difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, abdominal distension, and constipation. So don’t take any chances with your furry family members <3
