Mid America Pet Food (Mount Pleasant, TX) has announced a recall of three batches of Victor brand dry dog food due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The company initiated the voluntary recall after random sampling by a third party found Salmonella in samples from the three lots.
The affected lots of Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Select Beef Meal & Brown Rice Formula carry a “Best before” date of 6/12/2024, and can be identified by the following package sizes and lot codes:
- 5-lb bags: Lot #1000016890
- 15-lb bags: Lot #1000016891
- 40-lb bags: Lot #1000016892
The recalled products were distributed to various distributors and retailers in the United States.
According to the company’s recall notice, the current recall is separate from and unrelated to a recall initiated by Mid America in early September 2023. That earlier recall also was due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The company has instructed retailers and distributors to pull the implicated product from their inventory and from store shelves.
Consumers are advised not to feed the recalled products to their pets or to any other animals.
