A dog treats company has recalled two of its products due to antibiotic residue in their meats from China.

Nestle Purina PetCare Co. voluntarily withdrew all Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch brand dog treats sold in the United States.

New York's state agricultural department found the residue, which is legal for poultry in China but it is considered adulteration in the States.

Nestle Purina was sure to call it a "withdrawal" instead of a "recall" to make sure pet owners knew it is still technically safe to eat the products.

Technically safe…..

This is just a disaster.

Massachusetts pet food manufacturer, WellPet, has recalled its Wellness Dog Food brand due to high moisture levels.

Unfortunately, all of the WellPet websites (it also makes Holistic Select, Eagle Pack and Old Mother Hubbard) are down due to Hurricane Sandy so consumers cannot get more facts on the situation.

The website servers are based in New Jersey, a state hit with billions of dollars worth of damage.

The sites may be up today but the company is fielding phone calls as well.

Nature's Recipe has voluntarily recalled its Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken product due to possible salmonella contamination.

One of the company's U.S food plants is believed to be infected with salmonella, although neither the company nor the FDA will reveal the specific cause.

No humans or pets have gotten sick yet and there are no reported infections.

Thank goodness….

Don't feed your pets melons! Don't eat any either! At least until the CDC gives the all clear.

There has been a recall on Rocky Ford brand cantaloupes due to a Listeria contamination.

Listeria is a bacteria that can cause flu-like symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever and muscle aches.

It can lead to loss of balance, seizures or even death. 15 people have already died!

The infection is on the outside of the melon, which means you could easily transmit it to your pets.

All you have to do is handle a contaminated melon then pet your animal buddy.

Make sure to properly dispose of any possibly contaminated cantaloupes by putting them in a sealed container.

Let's keep our animals safe as well as ourselves, if you don't have your health then you don't have much at all.

Put down that turkey burger! Not another bite!

Cargill Inc. has announced a recall of their ground turkey products after testing showed it to be positive for salmonella.

The recall is for 36 million pounds of ground turkey. This is the second recall in recent memory from the same plant.

The last recall stemmed from an outbreak which sickened 107 people in 31 states and even killed someone.

So sad.

The plant has stopped production and begun a disinfection and steam clean of all their machinery.

An spokesman from Cargill said:

"Food safety is a top priority and taken extremely seriously at Cargill because we know that millions of people throughout the U.S. are eating food that we produce every day and we want to do everything we can to make sure that people are getting the safest food possible.”

No illnesses have been reported yet (probably because you listened and put down your turkey burger) but it’s possible infected turkey is still out there.

Any ground turkey made at the Springdale plant, bearing the number “963” or “P-963” on the package, could be infected.

If U have a package with that number, call 1-888-812-1646 for instructions on what to do.

Government officials have said that even contaminated turkey is safe to eat if it’s cooked to 165 degrees. But please, don’t chance it.

And wash your hands… thoroughly.
