Raw pet food recalled owing to presence of Salmonella
The recall comes after the raw food products were found to contain Salmonella.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a product recall alert for Homeland By Products Ltd frozen raw beef, tripe and turkey pet food products.
The recall comes after the products were found to contain Salmonella and affects the following batches:
| Product | Batch no. | Expiry date |
| Frozen raw beef | 1510 | May 2021 |
| Frozen raw turkey | 1513 | May 2021 |
| Frozen raw tripe | 1518 | May 2021 |
The Food Standards Agency writes: ‘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.
‘If you have bought any of the above products do not use them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.’
No other products by Homeland By Products Ltd are known to be affected.
With Strangles Awareness Week just around the corner (5-11 May), vets are being encouraged to share a survey about the disease with their horse-owning clients.
