According to reporting by CNN Newsource via KGW, a recall has been issued for two types of dog biscuits after routine testing identified potential salmonella contamination. The products—Country Vet Biscuits Original Meaty Flavor and Heartland Harvest Dog Biscuits Meaty Flavor with Chicken—were distributed in four‑pound bags with an expiration date of September 6, 2026. The FDA notice confirms that the treats were sold in multiple states, including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Montana and Nebraska. No illnesses have been reported at the time of the recall.

Information from the FDA notice, as summarized by additional reporting, states that salmonella contamination poses health risks to both pets and humans, particularly when proper handwashing is not observed after handling pet treats. Symptoms for people may include nausea, fever, and abdominal cramps, while pets may exhibit lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or reduced appetite. Even asymptomatic pets can spread the bacteria.

The FDA notice cited by these outlets states that the company has halted production of the recalled lot and is cooperating with federal regulators to identify the cause. Consumers who purchased the affected dog treats are advised to stop using them immediately and return any unused product to the retailer for a full refund. The recall remains limited to the identified lot; both the FDA and company reports emphasize that no related illnesses have been documented.
