Callback from Fressnapf: Salmonella alarm at 18 types of feed!

Callback from Fressnapf: Salmonella alarm at 18 types of feed!

In a worrying recall campaign, Fressnapf Tiergahrungs GmbH called back a total of 18 different types of dog and cat food. The reason for this is possible salmonella loads that were discovered during a random control of a supplier. Products of the Multifit and Premiere brands are also affected, which were also sold in Austria. The callback campaign is preventive, which emphasizes that Fressnapf emphasizes that not all affected products are inevitably contaminated. Nevertheless, a isolated contamination cannot be excluded, as krone.at reported.

The types of feed affected must be excluded from the sale, and animal owners are urgently warned to feed them on their animals. Fressnapf recommends returning all open products, with the purchase price being reimbursed in all branches. If food has already been fed, it is advisable to carefully observe the animals. Symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting or fever can occur, and in this case a veterinarian should be consulted immediately, since the incubation period is usually 48 hours, but can take up to three days in rare cases, such as SPIEGEL.de

This recall campaign shows the importance of strict controls in the pet food industry to ensure the health of pets. Small, immunocompromised or older animals that could suffer from more severe symptoms are particularly at risk. Customers are asked to take the recall seriously and act in good time.
