- Distribution ran through Florida Hardware to feed stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
- Elite Treats initiated the action after a third-party lab detected Salmonella in a related lot that was not commercially released.
- Regulators instruct consumers to stop using the treats, discard them securely, and clean bowls, containers, surfaces and hands; refunds or replacements are available from the company.
- One report listed lot 24025, creating a lot-number discrepancy that consumers should resolve by checking package codes against the FDA notice; no pet or human illnesses have been reported.
