Please read if you buy dry kibble for your dog or cat. Salmonella sickens pets, children and elders.

Bump for important info..

Lending a hand via a quick bump, our doggie's food is safe.

79 people, including children were sickened. That is disturbing.

Thanks op. Appreciate the heads up.

ETA: Wow! Mars, Inc is not having a good month. Earlier, it was melamine contaminating their Snickers and M&M's. Now, Salmonella is contaminating their pet food. Weird.

Great.. This is getting a bit crazy.

Rink eats Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul.... don't see that on there. Phew.

Just a snipet from the MSNBC article (to assuage some fears):

No one is known to have died in the outbreak of a rare strain of Salmonella, known as Salmonella enterica serotype Schwarzengrund, the CDC said. But it can make people ill who handle the pet food, especially the very young and very old, and causes bloody diarrhea. No pets have been reported sickened.
