Why was it recalled?
The presence of Salmonella in the products listed above. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals. The product could therefore carry a potential risk, because of the presence of Salmonella, either through direct handling of the products, or indirectly, for example from handling infected reptiles, their vivarium, utensils or contact with the faeces of these animals. In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Infected animals may not necessarily display signs of illness, but symptoms can include diarrhoea.
What should I do if I have it?
Stop feeding it and keep it away from pets and children. Keep the packaging and the receipt. If your pet has eaten it and seems unwell, call your vet. Most shops refund or replace recalled pet food.
Is this recall still active?
Yes. UK FSA still lists it (checked 8 October 2026).
