Proctor & Gamble, the company that manufactures Iams brand pet foods, is recalling even more— this time, its Proactive Health Indoor Weight & Hairball cat food, The Greeley Tribune reports.

According to the source, the food, which is sold in blue, 6.8 pound bags is potentially contaminated with salmonella, which can be detrimental to pet health.

The news provider reports that any bags marked with a code date of 02304173 (B1-B6) and the UPC number 1901403921 should be immediately discarded.

This is one of three recalls the company has voluntarily alerted the public of in the past two months.

Although no salmonella-related illnesses have been reported for any of the three recalls, The New York Times has reported that the recalled products have the potential to be detrimental to both pet health and human health.

Proctor & Gamble has told Forbes that pet owners should wash their hands if they have direct contact with any of the recalled products, as it can be inadvertently passed to humans this way.

The news provider reports that pets who contract salmonella may display decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Symptoms in humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.

If you believe your pet’s health has been affected by salmonella, visit your veterinarian immediately.

A full listing of recalled UPC codes can be found on the Iams.com website.

In addition to a recall in early July, Merrick Pet Products recently pulled more of their products from the shelf, the Examiner website reports.

The company told the news provider that although no illnesses have been reported, a sample of the Texas Hold’Em treats tested positive for Salmonella, which could cause serious pet health issues.

“The expanded Merrick recall adds to the growing number of pet food products recalled due to potential salmonella contamination,” the site reports, adding that Proctor & Gamble also recently recalled some of its pet foods.

The news provider reports that any dog displaying symptoms of Salmonella after eating the treats,
including lack of appetite, fever, lethargy, diarrhea or vomiting, should be taken to his or her veterinarian immediately for prompt dog health care.

The recalled Beef Filet Squares (Texas Hold ‘Em treats) are sold in 10 oz. plastic bags and marked with lot numbers 10084TL7 and 10127 with “Best by” dates of March 24, 2012 and May 6, 2012.

Dog owners who have questions about the recall can contact the Merrick Company at (800) 664-7387 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Central time.

Proctor & Gamble Company (P&G) has voluntarily expanded a recent recall to include more dry pet food because it might be contaminated with salmonella and harmful to pet health, Forbes.com reports.

Although no salmonella-related illnesses have been reported, the company opted to recall Iams Veterinary, Eukanuba Naturally Wild, Eukanuba Pure and Eukanuba Custom Care Sensitive Skin pet foods, just days after recalling some of its cat foods.

According to the New York Times, P&G recalled two lots of prescription cat food for fear of salmonella contamination, as reported July 26. No canned food or treats were affected.

A full listing of recalled UPC codes can be found on the Iams.com website.

Forbes reports the recalled products, which have the potential to be detrimental to pet health, are sold in veterinary clinics and some pet retailers in the US and Canada. P&G has instructed consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products to throw them away.

The news provider reported that that pet health and human health are both at risk, as humans who handle the food could contract Salmonella. P&G told Forbes that pet owners should wash their hands if they have direct contact with the product.

Pets who contract Salmonella may display decreases in appetite, fevers and abdominal pain, the news provider reports. Symptoms in humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.

Consumers showing signs of illness after having contact with the products should see their health care providers and any pet showing symptoms should be taken to his or her veterinarian.
