November 10th 2023 — Mid America Pet Food has expanded its voluntary recall from October 30th, 2023, to include additional dog food products due to potential Salmonella contamination.
What caused the recall?
The expanded recall was initiated after random and targeted sampling of the finished product, including by the firm and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, tested positive for Salmonella.
As of November 1st, seven people have reported Salmonella infections.
No other Mid America Pet Food products are impacted by this recall. This recall is separate from, and unrelated to, the Mid America Pet Food recall for Salmonella on September 3, 2023 but is an expansion of the Mid America Pet Food recall on October 30th.
You can read the recall on the FDA’s website.
