Bully sticks recalled due to salmonella
The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of a Boots & Barkley American Beef Bully Sticks due to evidence of salmonella contamination.
The bully sticks in question — and if you don’t know what they are, let’s just say they’re made from what makes a bull a bull — were sold at Target stores from April through September 2012.
They are made by Kasel Associated Industries, based in Denver, Colo.
The voluntary recall pertains only to the six count, 5-inch American Beef Bully Sticks.
The product is in a clear plastic container marked with the code number 647263899189.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture says salmonella was found in the following lots:
- BESTBY 20APR2014DEN
- BESTBY 01JUN2014DEN
- BESTBY 23JUN2014DEN
- BESTBY 23SEP2014DEN
No dogs or humans have been reported to have become sick from the product.
Symptoms of salmonella in humans include nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Animals present similar symptoms and may lethargic and refuse to eat.
Those who purchased the affected lots may return them to Target for refunds.
Those seeking more information can call Kasel Associated Industries at 1-800-218-4417.
