What the Food Standards Agency have said.

"Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals.

"The product could therefore carry a potential risk because of the presence of salmonella, either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals."

What you should do

If you have bought any of the above products do not use them.

Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
