Product Recall
Recall of One Lot of Hartz Chicken-Basted Rawhide Chips - Salmonella Concerns

On October 20, 2008, The Hartz Mountain Corporation, Secaucus, NJ voluntarily recalled one specific lot of Hartz Chicken-Basted Rawhide Chips due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot (lot code JC23282, UPC number 3270096463) were potentially contaminated with Salmonella (see U.S. FDA press release on link below). Los Angeles County Environmental Health Division contacted random food facilities and advised them of the food product recall as an informational campaign. Additionally, Environmental Health conducted field surveys which indicated that all recalled product was previously removed from sale and store shelves.

Salmonella may cause illness in both people and dogs. If a pet owner has purchased any of the recalled dog treats, they should discard the food in a secured container. Pet owners should contact their veterinarian if their pet becomes ill.

Please report any potential cases of Salmonella infection in dogs that consumed the recalled pet treat to Veterinary Public Health by following the link below.
