This discussion is for current recall information only. In the interest of staying informed without unnecessary panic please try to verify with a credible source that the information is fact. For posting recall info. please open your reply with the brand/manufacture name. Additionally it would be very helpful if you credit your source or any others you find pertaining to it and to include the date the information was released. Many thanks to all who will share here = )

I don't know if anyone here would be silly enough to buy special peanut butter made just for dogs, lol, but just in case any of you fell for this, there's been a recall of "Dogbutter": http://www.petproductnews.com/headlines/2012/09/28/canine-peanut-bu...

[Vivian & Mojo]

I agree very silly to buy dog peanut butter but maybe some people don't eat peanutbutter and fell for the label as did a facebook friend of mine so good to put the word out just in case, even helping one dog is a blessing.

October 13, 2012 — Nature’s Recipe has announced a voluntary recall involving one of its dog treats products due to possible contamination with Salmonella bacteria.

The event was reported by the FDA in anews release dated October 13, 2012.

The recall includes Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken made at one of the company’s US production facilities.

Salmonella can affect both humans and non-human animals and are the result of ingesting contaminated food.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken is sold in 19-ounce resealable pouches. The affected products include lot codes 2199TP and 2200TP with a “Best If Used By” date of either October 11, 2013 or October 12, 2013.

Product and product lots that do not appear on the list above are not subject to this recall.

Where Were the Recalled Products Sold?

The potentially affected lots of Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken were distributed nationally, primarily through pet specialty retailers.

What to Do?

Salmonella is serious business — for both you and your pet. So, if you can confirm your package of treats is one of the products being recalled, stop feeding or handling it immediately.

If you’ve already discarded the packaging – or you’re in any way in doubt – do not take chances. Be safe. Stop feeding the product anyway.

In its bulletin, the company suggests:

Consumers who have purchased the above lots of Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken should stop feeding the product and discard immediately.

For further information about the recall and for instructions on obtaining replacement product, consumers can use the Contact Us form at www.naturesrecipe.com or call the Consumer Hotline, 24 hours a day, at 800-237-3856.

You beat me to it, Adrianne, thanks. Hopefully, nobody here is buying any Del Monte products for their dogs, but you never know.

Thanks for posting. There have been several recall announcements for Boots and Barkley proiducts and for other products made by Kasel Industries of Colorado. These products are sold at Target, Costco, and Sam's Club. They may also be sold at other locations, but they are generally found in the lower end pet supply stores.

Another product added to the massive Sunland nut butter recall: Yoghund Organic Banana & Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Dog Treats

[Mary, Scrappy, Sully and Olive]

Wow, this is really getting ridiculous.  Would never have thought of the frozen yogurt.....my dogs birthday favorite, so only once a year.  Coincidentally, have just come across a great recipe for homemade.

Thank you Karen.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

In this particular case, it's the nuts that are causing the problem. There was a massive recall last month of dozens of nut butters and other nut products made by Sunland or using Sunland nuts, many of them human products sold at Trader Joe's. The recall now included even whole nuts: http://www.sunlandinc.com/788/html/pdfs/SunlandRecall.pdf
