On February 21, 2013, Kasel Associated Industries expanded an earlier recall. The original recall was issued for some of the company’s products manufactured between 4/20/12 and 9/19/12 due to the products potentially being contaminated by Salmonella bacteria.
The expanded recall was initiated when a follow-up inspection found widespread Salmonella contamination at the facility, including in all of the finished treat product samples.
This led U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials to make the statement that any pet treat product manufactured at the plant from 4/20/12 to 9/19/12 to potentially be contaminated with Salmonella. The retailers who sold the products include Target®, Petco®, Sam’s Club®, Costco®, and Menards®.
