Salmonella and listeria monocytogenes can sicken animals that eat contaminated products and can also pose a risk to people who handle the food or come into contact with contaminated surfaces, according to the recall notice
Pets infected with either bacteria may experience lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. Infected animals can also carry the bacteria and potentially spread them to people or other animals
