Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN initiated a recall of Lot Number 43650A of Micotil 300 (tilmicosin Injection), 250 ml vial.

Aron Pet Food of Abbotsford, British Columbia imported raw materials from T.W. Enterprises into Canada for use in products that were sold there under the Aron Pet Food label. That firm is also conducting a recall of these products.

T.W. Enterprises has informed FDA of its action and is fully cooperating with the agency. FDA, the Washington State Department of Agriculture and the Public Health Agency of Canada became aware of the problem after five cases (three in Canada and two in the United States) of Salmonella Thompson infection developed among people who may have handled these pet treats. Follow up analysis indicated that the illnesses were linked to these pet treats.

Consumers who have these pet treats should not feed them to their pets, but should instead dispose of them in a safe manner (e.g., in a securely covered trash receptacle). Anyone who is experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella Thompson infection after having handled one of these pet products should seek medical attention, and report their use of the product and illness to the nearest FDA office.

People should thoroughly wash their hands after handling any pet treat – especially those made from raw animal protein such as meat or fish -- to help prevent infection. People may risk bacterial infection not only by handling the treats, but by contact with pets or surfaces exposed to these treats, so it is important that they thoroughly wash their hands with hot water and soap.

Since elderly people, young children, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk from exposure they should avoid handling these products.

T.W. Enterprises Expands its Nationwide Recall of Pet Treats to Include All of its Products Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination

 T.W. Enterprises of Ferndale, Wash. today alerted consumers that it is recalling its entire line of dog and cat treats it markets because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. On June 8, the company recalled some of its products because of this contamination. Subsequent testing indicates that its other pet treat products may also be contaminated.

People handling these treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with any the treats or any surfaces exposed to these products.

The newly recalled products include:

Those who have questions about whether one they may have purchased one of these unlabeled bulk pet treats should contact the store where the item was purchased to see if T.W. Enterprises was the supplier.

T.W. Enterprises has informed FDA of its action and is fully cooperating with the agency. The firm, FDA and the other authorities are actively investigating this matter to determine the source of this problem, and will take any additional steps necessary to protect the public health.

Consumers who have these pet treats should not feed them to their pets, but should instead dispose of them in a safe manner (e.g., in a securely covered trashreceptacle). Anyone who is experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella infection after having handled one of these pet products should seek medical attention, and report their use of the product and illness to the nearest FDA office.

Diamond Pet Food Recalled Due to Aflatoxin

Diamond Pet Food has discovered aflatoxin in a product manufactured at a facility in Gaston, South Carolina. Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring toxic chemical by-product from the growth of the fungus Aspergillus flavus, on corn and other crops.

We have notified our distributors and recommended they hold the sale of all Diamond Pet Food products formulated with corn that were produced out of our Gaston facility (see complete list below). Please note that products manufactured at our facilities in Meta, Missouri and Lathrop, California are not affected. The Gaston facility date codes are unique from other Diamond facility codes in that either the eleventh or twelfth character in the date code will be a capital "G" (in reference to Gaston). The range of date codes being reviewed are "Best By 01-March-07" through Best By " 11-June-07". Diamond's quantitative analysis records substantiate that Diamond's corn shipments were definitively clear of aflatoxin after December 10. As such, "Best By 11-June-07" date codes or later are not affected by this notice.

States serviced by our Gaston facility include Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky (eastern), Main, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vermont, and Virginia.

Meanwhile, if your pet is showing any symptoms of illness, including sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat, yellowish tint to the eyes and/or gums, and severe or bloody diarrhea, please consult your veterinarian immediately.
