FDA News Release:
Salix Voluntarily Recalls Dog Treat Due to Possible Health Risk (January 23)
Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:12:00 -0600
Salix, a manufacturer of rawhide dog chew products, is voluntarily recalling its Healthy-hide Deli-wrap 3-Pack 5″ Peanut Butter-Filled Rawhide dog treats that contain peanut butter made by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA is the focus of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation into potential salmonella contamination of peanut butter and paste.
The company sold the products at PetSmart, Target, and Wegman’s Food stores in the United States and Canada. The products come in a clear plastic bag with a header card and the name Deli Wraps on the front. The package is a 3-count of 5″ chew treats with the UPC of 0-91093-33354-0. All packages are marked with one of the following lot codes: A 08 208, A 08 212, A 08 232, A 08 234, A 08 263, A 08 264, A 08 268, A 08 275, A 08 276 or A 08 277. This code can be found on the back of the header card. Salmonella can be transferred to people handling pet treats, especially if they don’t thoroughly wash their hands after handling the products or any surfaces exposed to the products.

Great blog! Thanks for putting this together and giving people such awesome info. I like all your updates on the recall and just going through some of your other posts now on pet food in general. I’ve just started making my dogs homemade food (mixed with good quality ‘Fromms 4 star’ ) but I’m not even sure about the Fromms anymore after reading ‘Pet foods to die for’…the pet food industry scares me….
I look forward to reading and learning more on here!
Cheers,
Dana
