Report Copyright Violation | HEALTH ALERT - CDC: Salmonella in dog food sickens 14 people in US (Diamond Pet Foods again) CDC: Salmonella in dog food sickens 14 people in US; SC plant had toxic mold problem in 2005Fourteen people in at least nine states have been sickened by salmonella after handling tainted dog food from a South Carolina plant that a few years ago produced food contaminated by toxic mold that killed dozens of dogs, federal officials said Friday.
At least five people were hospitalized because of the dog food, which was made by Diamond Pet Foods at its plant in Gaston, S.C., the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. No pets were sickened, according to the Meta, Mo.-based company.
Three people each were infected in Missouri and North Carolina; two people in Ohio; and one person each in Alabama, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the CDC said.
“Our folks are really wanting people to be aware of it. They want to be aware that this is causing people to get sick because they may have product in their homes. For every one that is reported, there may be 29 others,” Russell said.More @ link: [ link to www.washingtonpost.com] ---------------------------------- Multistate Outbreak of Human Salmonella Infantis Infections Linked to Dry Dog Food [ link to www.cdc.gov] Last Edited by cRoSS FiRe on 05/05/2012 09:02 AM"Nothing is as far away as one minute ago." --Jim Bishop

Report Copyright Violation | Re: HEALTH ALERT - CDC: Salmonella in dog food sickens 14 people in US (Diamond Pet Foods again) The South Carolina plant temporarily was shut down April 8. Diamond Pet Foods has issued four rounds of recalls for food made at the plant, located outside of Columbia, S.C., between Dec. 9 and April 7. The latest recalls were announced Friday.
People can get salmonella by handling infected dog food, then not washing their hands before eating or handling their own food, health officials said.According to the article no animals have become ill from the food, but strongly suggest hand washing after handling.
