The Public Health Agency of Canada’s ongoing outbreak of Salmonella infections investigation has determined the recalled pet treats contain Salmonella Oranienburg, posing a risk of cross contamination and illness after handling the pet treats.
Salmonella can spread to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not washed their hands after having contact with their pet's foods, surfaces and/or pets that have been in contact with the contaminated product. Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. People exhibiting these signs after having contact with these products or a pet that has eaten these products should contact their healthcare provider.
Salmonella can infect pets eating a product contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. Symptoms of Salmonella infection in pets may include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, fever, or excessive salivation. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian. Some pets may not appear sick but can spread infection to other animals and humans in the household.
