USA – Quaker Oats to Close Plant Tied to Salmonella Recalls

Posted on April 18, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poisoning News

Quaker Oats has confirmed that it will shutter its Danville, Illinois food production plant on June 8, 2024.  A community staple for 65 years, the plant’s closure will result in the loss of 510 local jobs.

The plant’s fate was sealed by a series of unfortunate events.  In December 2023 and January 2024, Quaker Oats faced a double whammy of recalls due to potential Salmonella contamination. This dangerous bacterium can spread through raw foods and contaminated surfaces, which can lead to severe gastric distress, infections in other parts of the body after circulating in the bloodstream, and potentially typhoid fever, although rare in the United States. Over 60 products manufactured at the Danville plant were affected by the recall.

Luxembourg – Pet Food – Fit and Vital Junior from the Happy Dog brand – Salmonella

Posted on March 20, 2024 by | Leave a comment

SAP

Name Fit and Vital Junior
Brand Happy Dog
Unit 4kg
Minimum Durability Date (MBD) 08/28/2025
Batch 250828194484

Danger  : Possible presence of Salmonella

Salmonella can cause symptoms such as lack of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and lethargy after consumption in fragile animals (very young, old, weakened). In healthy animals, salmonella generally causes few or no symptoms. When the animal has eaten the product concerned and presents these symptoms, its owner is invited to consult a veterinarian and report this consumption.

In the absence of symptoms, animals can be healthy carriers of salmonellosis, that is to say excrete salmonella in their stools without being sick. A risk of contamination via the excrement of the animal having consumed the product or directly via the contaminated food therefore exists for all people in contact with the animal or food concerned.

The product can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
