There’s a new recall out this morning that we just received word of and wanted to pass along to all our readers. It’s a very limited recall, impacting just a single lot.
Merrick Pet Care, Inc. of Amarillo, Texas is recalling a single lot of its Doggie Wishbone pet treat. The recalled treats are ITEM # 29050, UPC # 2280829050, Lot 11031 Best By 30 Jan 2013.
The lot has been recalled because of the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. (See our “Recognizing Salmonella in Pets” article for symptoms.)
Only one lot of Doggie Wishbone is affected by this recall. No additional Merrick Pet Care products are involved in this recall. No other Merrick brand products are involved.
In all, 248 cases of this lot were manufactured and shipped to distributors in 10 states. Those distributors have been notified and have activated their recall procedures.
No illnesses have been reported to date and there have been no consumer complaints for this product. This issue was identified through routine sampling by the Food and Drug Administration.
If You Have This Product:
- If you have purchased the Doggie Wishbone with the lot code 11031, return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- If you have questions, call the company at 1-800-664-7387, Monday through Friday from 8am – 5pm CST.
