Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Animals with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some animals will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy animals can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your animals have consumed the recalled product and have these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian. "Vitae bird food was distributed through Southern California retail pet stores.
The bags in question are packaged in a factory sealed plastic bag or a white bulk bag for the 20# size.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
This recall was the result of a routine testing performed by Specialty Commodities, which revealed that the finished products, which include parsley that is on recall from Specialty Commodities, contain Salmonella. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
If you still have any bags on hand, please return them immediately to the place of purchase or Merit Bird Company for a full refund.
Information on what consumers should do with the product and where they can get additional information (e.g., consumers) who have purchased Vitae Bird Food are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Breeder’s Choice, a Central Garden & Pet company, has issued a voluntary recall for a single batch of Active Care Biscuits-Healthy Dog Treats due to mold discovered in one of the lots of dog biscuits.
The following product is included in the recall:
Product Code/SKU/ Material #: BCP-080
UPC Code: 0130104895
Size: 24 oz.
Product Name: Active Care Biscuits-Healthy Dog Treats
Best Before Code: 19/Dec/2013
Product and product lots that do not appear above have not been affected.
According to a release from the manufacturer, the mold seems to have occurred due to varying dryer temperature settings for drying biscuits. This exposed the recalled product to excess moisture and has since been remedied.
Pet owners who fed their pets the recalled biscuits should watch for symptoms that may develop. Common symptoms associated with mold exposure include gastrointestinal issues such as loose stool. At the time of this release, there have been no reports of human or pet illnesses associated with this recall.
For more information, call the Central Customer Care line at (866) 500-6286 or visit goactivedog.com ****As of right now this is not on their website! This info is coming from PetMD - Hopefully the company will put it on their website.

Virbac has issued a voluntary recall for six lots of their heartworm prentive, Iverhart Plus Flavored Chewables, due to a failure to meet stability specifications during the life of the product.
The following lots have been included in the recall:
According to a Virbac letter obtained by petMD, the recalled lots met all of the specifications at the time of their release to distributers, but further product testing showed that the ivermectin potency failed to meet stability specifications during the life of the product.
The recalled lots may not fully protect dogs in the upper third of each weight range against heartworms. At the time of this letter, no heartworm-related adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported.
For questions or concerns about the Iverhart Plus recall, please contact Virbac Technical Services at 1-800-338-3659 ext. 3052.
*******I checked Virbac's site and as of right now I can not find this recall.

From Natura:
March 18, 2013, we informed you of a voluntary recall on select Natura products.
In the course of further examination, additional products have tested positive for the presence of salmonella. All of these products were made on a single manufacturing line. As an additional safety measure, we are broadening our voluntary recall to include all dry dog and cat food products made on this single manufacturing line in the Jan-Mar, 2013 timeframe.
Your pets’ health and safety is our #1 priority. We assure you that we are extensively investigating, inspecting and taking all actions necessary to ensure that our products meet both your expectations and ours.
Please see below for details on all affected products. If you have a product included on this list and would like a refund or replacement, please follow the instructions below. For additional inquiries, contact us at http://www.naturapet.com/about/contact-us or (800) 224-6123.
Sincerely,
Employees of Natura Pet Products
Natura Pet is expanding the recall of specific California Natural, Innova, EVO, Karma and Healthwise formulas as a precautionary measure due to potential Salmonella contamination. Mother Nature and wet products are not included in this recall. No other P&G Pet Care brands are impacted by this recall.
We were alerted to a single case of Salmonella in a 2.2lb package of EVO Turkey & Chicken Cat Food on March 15th and took the precautionary measure of recalling all products produced on the same line within the same time frame. In the course of further examination, Salmonella was also discovered in other packages of EVO Turkey & Chicken Cat Food and Innova Cat Treats. We are taking the immediate and precautionary action of expanding the current recall to include additional Natura products that were produced between December 14th 2012 and March 24th, 2013 on the same production line. We are also recalling a single lot of Innova Cat treats. True to our heritage, we will be transparent as we work through this issue.
Plans are in place to increase production and expedite release of product, but some supply disruptions should be expected.

Natura was purchased by P&G in 2010 but I couldn't find anything on their site about recalls. For those of you that didn't know it was purchased here is the press release - http://news.pg.com/press-release/pg-corporate-announcements/pg-acquires-natura-pet-products I do wonder why P&G isn't sending out this recall info since they are the owner now.
This is from the Natura Website
Dear Natura Family,
As pet parents and dedicated pet health advocates, it pains us to inform you of the first recall in our company’s 21-year history.
During a recent random sampling, the FDA confirmed the presence of salmonella in one of our products. We take this extremely seriously, because your pets are like ours – they’re part of the family – and we aren’t taking any chances. As a result, we have voluntarily recalled a number of our products as a precautionary measure. Fortunately, there have been no reported animal or human health issues associated with these products, and we have confirmed that this is not a widespread issue.
Natura was founded on the commitment to provide the healthiest natural pet food in the world. As Natura employees who live this commitment every day, words cannot express our disappointment with this finding. We place quality as the cornerstone of our products. It is a process of ongoing improvement, and we will continually review and raise these standards. Unfortunately, salmonella and other contaminants pose a great challenge to the food industry, and no company is immune.
We want to assure you, our valued customers, that we are more committed than ever to animal and human safety. We have fully investigated and identified the cause of this incident. Our production is ongoing, and you can continue to feed any Natura products outside of this incident with confidence.
We know that trust is earned. This incident further fuels our passionate commitment to your pet’s health and safety. We promise to demonstrate this commitment through our actions now and in the future.
Click here for details on the recall products. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at (800) 224-6123.
Sincerely,
Employees of Natura Pet Products

Here is the official recall posted on the FDA site:
Contact:
Consumer:
David Bogner
866-922-9222
E-mail: info@bravorawdiet.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 13, 2013 - Bravo! is voluntarily recalling its 2 lb tubes of Bravo! Raw Food Diet Chicken Blend for Dogs and Cats, product code: 21-102, batch ID code 6 14 12, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
The recall involves 2 lb. Bravo! Chicken Blend frozen raw diet tubes (chubs) made on June 14, 2012 only; no other products or sizes are involved. The recalled product should not be sold or fed to pets. This batch tested negative by a third party independent laboratory prior to release for distribution to consumers, however routine testing by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture of product collected from a single retail location tested positive for presence of salmonella. While the testing discrepancy is unclear, in an abundance of caution Bravo is issuing this recall.
The company has received no reports of illness in either people or animals associated with this product.
The recalled product is distributed nationwide to distributors, retail stores, internet retailers and directly to consumers, and can be identified by the batch ID code 6 14 12 located on the white hang tag attached to the bottom of the plastic film tube.
Pet owners should return unopened frozen tubes of food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should dispose of opened tubes of product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash receptacle) and return the washed plastic batch ID tag to the store where purchased for a full refund.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
In an effort to prevent the transmission of Salmonella from pets to family members and care givers, the FDA recommends that everyone follow appropriate pet food handling guidelines when feeding their pets. A list of safe pet food handling tips can be found at:
http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm048182.htm.1
For more information on the Bravo recall, please visit www.bravorawdiet.com2, or call toll free (866) 922-9222 Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (EST).

MDA issues consumer advisory for two brands of raw pet food
Samples tested positive for Salmonella bacteria
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is alerting consumers to avoid feeding or handling two separate brands of poultry-based raw pet food after the MDA laboratory found Salmonella bacteria in routine sample tests. The brand varieties include:
Bravo! Raw Food Diet 2 lb. Chicken Blend for Dogs and Cats manufactured by Bravo!, LLC, of Manchester, Connecticut. This is a frozen pet food product with the production code of 06/14/12, which is located on the white tag on the end of the package. This advisory is for the 2 lb. size of Bravo! Chicken Blend with the “best used by date” of 6/12/14 only. No other products, sizes, or production dates are involved. For further information, contact the company at 1-866-922-9222.
Turducken Canine Diet 8oz. Patties, manufactured by Steve’s Real Food, Inc., of Murray, Utah. This is a frozen pet food product with the “Use By” date code of 10/27/13 B209, which is located on the lower front panel of package. For further information, contact the company at 801-540-8481 or gary@stevesrealfood.com.
There are no reports of human or animal illnesses associated with consumption of these products. Consumers are asked to discard any of these products they may have.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the product, and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated products. People handling contaminated raw pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product.
Pets with Salmonella infections may exhibit decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed this product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
Human symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps and fever. Symptoms usually begin within 12 to 72 hours after exposure, but can begin up to a week after exposure. Salmonella infections usually resolve in 5-7 days, but approximately 20 percent of cases require hospitalization. In rare cases, Salmonella infection can lead to death, particularly in the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Anyone who has become ill after handling this product should see their health care provider.

For reasons unknown right now, this is not on the FDA site. It is only on Jones' Site. As you can see they had another recall last year. They were shipped to distributors and retailers between November 1, 2012 and November 12, 2012 where they were available for purchase.
FOR IMMEDIATEJONES NATURAL CHEWS CO RECALLS WOOFERS DOG TREATS BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE
SALMONELLA HEALTH RISK
Jones Natural Chews Co of Rockford, IL is recalling 245 boxes of Woofers (beef patties) because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect animals and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products. People handling dry pet food and/or treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the chews or
any surfaces exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the
recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by Colorado Department of Agriculture Feed Program which revealed that the finished products contained the bacteria.

****Canada Press Release - Your production codes are different - http://petfoodinformationcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/PE-DN-Canada-Thiamine-Recall-Release-3.10.13-.pdf
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 10, 2013 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Diamond Pet Foods is voluntarily recalling limited production codes of Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat Formula dry cat food, Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula dry cat food,Premium Edge Kitten Formula dry cat food, Diamond Naturals Kitten Formula dry cat food and 4health All Life Stages Cat Formula dry cat food. Tests conducted by the company indicated the products might have a low level of thiamine (Vitamin B1). There have been no complaints regarding thiamine levels, or any other health issues, related to these products. In association with this voluntary recall, Diamond Pet Foods has tested all other Diamond brands for thiamine deficiency to ensure the safety of the cat food it manufactures. No other product manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods is involved in this voluntary recall.
Only product with the following Best By dates and Production Codes are included in the voluntary recall. Further distribution of these affected production codes has occurred through online sales. It is best to check the production code to determine if the product has been recalled or not.
“At Diamond Pet Foods, we have a process where we continuously test our products, and this process allowed us to find the undesired levels of thiamine in some of our cat formulas. Our food safety protocols are designed to provide safe food on a daily basis,” says Michele Evans, Ph.D., Diamond Pet Foods Executive Director of Food Safety and Quality Assurance. “In the event an error occurs, we have the data to quickly alert pet owners, giving them the confidence they demand of a pet food manufacturer.”
Pet owners who are unsure if the product they purchased is included in the recall, or who would like replacement product or a refund, may contact the Pet Food Information Center at 1-888-965-6131, Sunday through Saturday, 8 a.m.– 6 p.m. EST. Consumers also may visit http://www.petfoodinformationcenter.com for additional information.
Cats fed product with the previously listed Production Codes and Best By dates exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential for cats in maintaining normal nervous system function. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological in nature. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss. In advanced cases, Neurological signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, falling, circling and seizures. Pet owners should contact their veterinarians immediately if a cat is displaying any of these signs. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency typically is reversible.

This is from the Delmar Law Group website:
NUTRO DOG FOOD LITIGATION – CLASS ACTION CASE SETTLED IN SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT
On September 11, 2012, the Del Mar Law Group, LLP (led by class action lawyers John Donboli and Sean Slattery) obtained a Final Approval Order and Judgment against The Nutro Company in San Diego
Superior Court. The case alleged that Nutro misled consumers by claiming that its dog food products contained live Bacillus microbials. In fact, the dog food products at issue were sold with a “Guaranteed Analysis” label pertaining to the health-promoting, Bacillus microbials in the dog food products. A copy of the Complaint can be found here
It is not clear how it was determined the Nutro dog treat did not contain the probiotic stated on the label. However, I did do 2 other posts about Greenies, who are manufactured by Nutro. Isn't everyone tired of the word game they are playing. How many times can a company goof up before customer's say to themselves "hey, this isn't right and I don't want my pet harmed." Companies need to stop pulling the wool over consumers eyes!
Here are the Greenies posts: http://health4uandpets.typepad.com/healthproducts/2012/12/greenies-pill-pockets-for-dogs-100-all-natural-ingredients-the-bag-says-it-so-it-must-be-true-right.html and http://health4uandpets.typepad.com/healthproducts/2012/12/greenies-pill-pockets-for-cats-100-natural-the-bag-says-it-so-it-must-be-true-right.html

In 2011, Evangers also received a Warning from the FDA where they didn't find Duck in the Duck pet food or Lamb in the Lamb pet food - Read the warning here - There was never a recall - just an FDA warning to them
This story originally started back in 2010. Joel Sher had allegedly offered $5,000 to a witness in exchange for changing testimony in a case from 2010 where he is accused of ordering his company employees to divert nearly $2 million worth gas and power lines to his store. - Here is the newest update....

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 21, 2013 - The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that Kasel Associates
Industries Inc. is recalling all pet treats it manufactured from April 20
through Sept. 19, 2012 due to potential contamination with Salmonella.
Kasel has issued three previous recall notices for specific products
manufactured during this time period.
The move comes after the Colorado Department of Agriculture tested
a retail sample of a Kasel pet treat product and found it to be positive for
Salmonella. Based on FDA’s follow-up inspection at the firm, FDA found
that all of the finished pet treat product samples and 48 out of 87
environmental samples collected during the inspection tested positive for
Salmonella. More than ten different species of Salmonella were
found in the firm’s products and manufacturing facility, indicating multiple
sources of contamination.
While there are no reports of human illness, FDA has received a
small number of complaints of illness in dogs who were exposed to the treats.
Because of the multiple positive tests for Salmonella, and the
production practices and conditions observed at the facility during the
inspection, FDA believes that there is a reasonable probability that pet treat
products manufactured in the facility from April 20, 2012 through September 19,
2012 are contaminated with Salmonella.
Both people and animals can contract Salmonellosis from handling
or eating contaminated products. People handling dry pet treats should
thoroughly wash their hands after having contact with the treats as well as any
surfaces exposed to these products.
Consumers who have any of these products, or who are unsure of the
manufacturing date of their pet treats, should dispose of them in ways that
people and animals, including wild animals, cannot access them, such as placing
them in a securely lidded garbage can.
The Kasel-manufactured products are sold at various retailers,
including Target, Petco, Sam’s Club and Costco. Most of the products have a
two-year shelf life.
All of the products were made in the U.S. This action is not
related to FDA’s ongoing investigation of jerky pet treats made in China.
Salmonella is a public health risk and is one of the most
common causes of foodborne illness. Healthy people infected with
Salmonella may experience some or all of the following symptoms:
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
Although rare, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including
arterial infections, endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart),
arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers
exhibiting these signs after having contact with the products subject to this
recall should contact their health care provider immediately.
Pets with Salmonella infections may become lethargic and
have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some pets may experience
only a decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected, but otherwise
healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has
consumed any of the affected product or is experiencing any of these symptoms,
contact your veterinarian immediately.
The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are
more likely to become severely ill from Salmonella infection. The
bacterium can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in these vulnerable
populations. Most healthy individuals recover from Salmonella
infections within four to seven days without treatment.
As with humans, dogs who are elderly, very young or have impaired
immune systems are more vulnerable to Salmonella infection.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hy-Vee issues voluntary recall of certain dog food products
Routine testing identifies higher-than-normal contaminant levels in select products
WEST DES MOINES, IA – Hy-Vee, Inc. today issued a voluntary recall of certain bags of Hy-Vee dog food due to elevated levels of a chemical contaminant commonly found in corn.
Routine random tests conducted by the Iowa Department of Agriculture indicated higher-than-normal levels of aflatoxin in some samples of Hy-Vee dog food produced at a Kansas City plant operated by Pro-Pet, LLC.
Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring by-product from the growth of Aspergillus flavus and can be harmful to pets if consumed in significant quantities. Pets which have consumed this product and exhibit symptoms of illness including sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat, vomiting, yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, or diarrhea should consultant a veterinarian.
The recalled products carry three different “Best By” dates and were distributed to Hy-Vee stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin between October 26, 2012 and January 11, 2013.

Customers are urged to check the “Best By” dates on any product they have at home and refrain from feeding any of the recalled products to their pets. Any bags of Hy-Vee dog food subject to the recall, whether opened or unopened, may be returned to Hy-Vee stores for a full refund.
Hy-Vee officials emphasized the recall is voluntary and only conducted as a precautionary measure.

1. Why are you announcing this recall?
We are voluntarily recalling five lots of our Thrive, Verve and Zeal pet food products produced between August and November 2012 and sold nationwide in the US and Canada via retail stores, mail order and online after August 2012 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. We are taking this action after learning that one of our raw ingredients suppliers has recalled a batch of human-grade parsley that many contain Salmonella. The batch of parsley was
shipped to us in 2012 and used in the production of five lots of finished Honest Kitchen products.
We regularly test for Salmonella and other pathogens as part of our quality control process and have
not received any reports of illness associated with these lots of products. Nonetheless, we are proceeding with this recall in order to ensure the full safety and quality of our products.

3. Are my pets at risk if I fed them the recalled products?
We regularly test for Salmonella and other pathogens as part of our quality control process and have not received any reports of illness associated with these lots of products. Nonetheless, we are proceeding with this action in order to ensure the full safety and quality of our products.
4. What should I do if I have the recalled product?
If you have possession of recalled lots of Honest Kitchen Verve, Zeal or Thrive products, please follow these instructions:
• Stop feeding the products to your pets
• Remove the UPC (bar code) and lot code from the packaging. Lot codes are located on the top of product boxes either adjacent to or opposite the UPC.
• Discard the contents in a covered trash receptacle.
• Submit for a replacement or full refund of the MSRP of the affected products plus $1 to cover postage, by mailing the UPC and lot code along with a completed Reimbursement Form to The Honest Kitchen, 145 14th Street, San Diego, Calif. 92101, Attn: Reimbursements. All refunds will be
processed within five business days (plus postage time).
5. Can I continue to feed my pet the recalled products if they do not appear ill?
No. We strongly advise you to stop feeding the products to your pets and follow the instructions in Question 4 to discard the product and submit for a refund.
6. Why are you recalling these products if none have tested positive for Salmonella?
We are committed to providing the highest-quality human-grade food available to our customers’ pets. While our quality control tests did not find evidence of Salmonella in any of our finished
products, we are accountable for everything we make, and are recalling these products to ensure the safety and integrity of our products.
7. How do you select your suppliers?
We work closely with each of our suppliers to carefully source our human grade ingredients. We choose suppliers who care, because we care.
Many of our ingredients are carefully sourced from farms in their ‘native’ countries, such as Fair-trade Organic Quinoa from Bolivia, Sweet Potatoes from their native Peru and Bananas from the Philippines. We’re also a proud member of Green America, whose mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.
You can read a bit about where each of our ingredients comes from, here.
8. Are any other lots of these products affected? Are any other The Honest Kitchen products affected?
No other batches, production dates or other Honest Kitchen products are affected by this recall.
Every pound of parsley delivered by our raw ingredients supplier has been accounted for and was not used in the production of any other lots or products.
9. What quality control processes do you have in place to ensure the safety of your products?
We work closely with each of our suppliers to carefully source our human grade ingredients. Our finished products are made in a human food facility and held to the same high quality control
standards as human food products. And, humans taste the products we make as part of our quality control and R&D processes.
As you may know, Salmonella can appear in many human foods, from pistachios to mangoes, but it trends particularly high in meats, eggs and leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce and herbs. To further protect you from the risks Salmonella can pose, we’re adding additional steps to our quality control process:
• Al dehydrated leafy greens (parsley, basil, dandelion, spinach and alfalfa) will be steamed, to eliminate pathogens while maintaining our commitment to very gentle production that retains and protects the nutrients that nature provides.
• We will conduct additional tests for pathogens on all leafy greens when they arrive at our manufacturing facility.
• We are no longer purchasing any ingredients from the supplier that provided the parsley being recalled.
We are committed to continually evolving and adapting our procedures to prevent problems like this from occurring in the future.
10. You say you are a family business. How could you allow this to happen?
We apologize to you for the inconvenience this situation has created and we promise to continue to operate our family business in a way that lives up to the high standards that you have always expected from us.
At The Honest Kitchen, we are accountable for every pound of food that we produce. We are committed to always providing healthy, quality products that balance gentle production methods with a focus on safety and integrity.
Together, we have built our company over the last decade on the principles of honesty, transparency and openness.
We believe the quality control processes we currently have in place, in addition to those we are currently adding, will ensure the continued safety and integrity of our products. We are also committed to continually evolving and adapting our procedures to prevent problems like this from occurring in the future.
11. How can I reach you if I have additional questions or need more information about this recall?
Please reach us by phone at 1-866-437-9729 or email at info@thehonestkitchen.com. Our customer service representatives will be available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST to
