UK -Natures Menu recalls its ‘Country Hunter 80% Farm Reared Turkey with Wholesome Fruit and Veg’ frozen pet food because of the presence of salmonella

The presence of salmonella in the product listed below. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause food poisoning in humans. The product could therefore carry a potential risk through direct handling or indirectly for example from food contact surfaces. In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.

Natures Menu is recalling the affected product from its customers. Product recall notices will be sent to all businesses that sell the product, explaining to customers the reason for recall and the actions they can take if they have bought the affected product.

No other Natures Menu products are known to be affected.

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
