Pet owners are being urged to check their cabinets immediately following a voluntary recall of two popular canine health products. The New York-based company, Fi, initiated this safety measure after discovering that a raw ingredient provided by a third-party supplier might be tainted with Salmonella<\/em>.<\/p>\n \nWhile we often associate Salmonella<\/em> with human foodborne illnesses, it poses a significant threat to our four-legged companions as well. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Salmonella<\/em> outbreaks in pet products are a recurring concern, often leading to gastrointestinal distress, lethargy, and fever in animals. Furthermore, there is a secondary risk: humans who handle contaminated supplements can easily contract the bacteria if they do not practice rigorous hand hygiene after touching the product or the pet\u2019s feeding area.<\/p>\n \nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that the manufacturer has halted all production lines to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the supply chain. To ensure the safety of their customers, Fi is proactively reaching out to those who purchased the following items:<\/p>\n * Fi Calming Supplement for Dogs:<\/strong> Lot Number 26118 | UPC 8 50064 80011 1 Both products were distributed in 180g containers and were available for purchase through the company\u2019s direct-to-consumer website, as well as major online retailers like Amazon and Chewy.<\/p>\n \nIf you have these dog supplements<\/a> in your home, do not feed them to your pet. Even if the product appears normal, the risk of salmonella contamination<\/a> is too high to ignore. <\/p>\n * Disposal:<\/strong> Safely discard the containers in a sealed trash bag where other animals or children cannot access them. This recall serves as a stark reminder for pet parents<\/a> to stay vigilant regarding potentially contaminated products<\/a>. Always keep an eye on official FDA bulletins to ensure the health and longevity of your pets.<\/p>\nUnderstanding the Risks of Salmonella in Pets<\/h3>\n
