What is salmonella infection?
People with salmonella infection often suffer diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps after getting in contact with infected animals, their feces, or their environment or eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water.
Dog food sold in 11 states has been recalled because it’s contaminated with salmonella.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall involves 6-pound bags of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe, made by Oma’s Pride of Avon, Connecticut.
