Dog Treats Recalled in 7 States Over Salmonella

Dog owners in seven states are being urged to check their treat stash after a popular biscuit brand was pulled over salmonella concerns. Consumers Supply Distributing of Sioux City, Iowa, has recalled two 4-pound dog biscuit products after federal inspectors found salmonella in finished samples, the FDA says in a fact sheet. The affected items are:

• Country Vet Biscuits, Original Meaty Flavor (UPC 899623000463)
• Heartland Harvest Dog Biscuits, Meaty Flavor with Chicken (UPC 840227340691).
• Both have a lot code of 40906513 and a "best by" date 09/06/2026.
• The treats were shipped to retailers in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Montana, and Nebraska.

No illnesses have been reported, but officials warn that salmonella can sicken both pets and people, per KHOU. Dogs that eat contaminated biscuits may become lethargic or develop diarrhea, fever, vomiting, or abdominal pain, though some may show only reduced appetite—and even symptom-free pets can shed the bacteria. Humans can be exposed by handling contaminated treats or touching surfaces they've contacted. The company has a number for questions: (712) 202-5609.
