Dog Food Recall – Safe Dog Food

Please beware of these dog food brands of food. They have been recalled.

Dog treat recall now covering 48 products and six brands: Petco, Nature’s Deli, Boots & Barkley, BIXBI, Colorado Naturals, and Best Bully Sticks. Full list below. On February 19, the FDA announced a recall of all treats produced by Kasel Associated Industries’ Denver CO facility through September of last year due to salmonella contamination. There may be more recalls to come.
This is the fifth expansion of the Kasel Associated recalls in as many months. If not returning them for a refund, families should dispose of these products in ways that people and animals, including wild animals, cannot access them. The FDA urges families who have purchased any listed products to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Kasel Associated Industries at (800) 218-4417 Monday thru Friday from 7am to 5pm MDT.

The current list is lacking in brand information that would be readily identifiable. We are contacting Kasel and retailers in an attempt to get more responsible descriptions and a complete list of products coming out of this facility.
