Firm recalls raw dog food over salmonella fears

South Wales firm Rhondda Raw Ltd is recalling a batch of Beef 80/10/10 raw frozen dog food because Salmonella has been found in the product.

 

Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. This notice explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

 

The Food Standards Agency said: "Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals. The product could therefore carry a potential risk, because of the presence of Salmonella, either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals."

 

The agency added: "If you have bought the above product do not use it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. When handling and serving raw pet food it is always advised to clean utensils and feeding bowls thoroughly after use. Consumers should wash hands thoroughly after handling raw pet food, bowls, utensils or after contact with the faeces of animals. Raw pet food should be stored separately from any food (especially ready to eat foods). Care should be taken when defrosting to avoid cross contamination of foods and surfaces."

 

The food affected had a batch code of 040825/BM and 050825/BM.

 

In its recall notice Rhondda Raw Ltd said: "Do not use this product, instead return this product to your retailer for a full refund. If you have handled this product, wash your hands thoroughly and clean all utensils, surfaces and bowls."
