DogsButterA nationwide limited recall of peanut butter made by Sunland Inc. has snared a pet company, Dog for Dog, which issued a voluntary recall of all its jarred Dogsbutter.
Portales, N.M.-based Sunland initially recalled 75 almond butter and peanut butter products, including some made for grocers such as Trader Joe’s, Fresh & Easy and Sprouts, because of possible Salmonella contamination. The manufacturer expanded the recall Monday to include 25 additional products containing cashew butter, tahini or roasted blanched peanuts.
The voluntary recall began after 29 people reportedly contracted Salmonella-type illnesses in 18 states, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stated.
Dog for Dog of Santa Monica, Calif., joined the voluntary recall though no animal illnesses were reported, CEO Rocky Keever said today.
“While no Dogsbutter products have tested positive for Salmonella, our No. 1 focus is ensuring the health, safety and well-being of dogs,” Keever said.
“We’d much rather be overly cautious,” he added. “We’re not knowledgeable enough in the peanut market, so we just pulled it.”
All the recalled products may be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, Sunland and Keever noted.
Dog for Dog also sells Dogsbar nutrition bars, which are not included in the recall.
The Sunland recall involves products manufactured from May 1 through Monday.

Boots and Barkley Bully SticksKasel Associated Industries recalled all lots of its Boots & Barkley 6-Count, 5-Inch American Beef Bully Sticks after several lots tested positive for Salmonella.
The product was distributed through Target stores in the United States from April through September 2012. The sticks come in a clear plastic bag marked with bar code number 647263899189.
Kasel opted to recall the products after routine sampling by the Colorado Department of Agriculture revealed that four lots were contaminated with Salmonella. Kasel ceased production and distribution of the product while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the company investigate the source of the contamination.
Pets suffering from a Salmonella infection may become lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some pets may have only a decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected by otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and may infect other animals or people.
Owners of pets that ate the recalled products and are displaying symptoms of Salmonella poisoning should contact their veterinarian, the company said.
People infected with Salmonella may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Salmonella also can cause more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms.
Consumers who handled the recalled products and are exhibiting signs of Salmonella infection should contact a health care provider.
The recalled product may be returned to the store for a refund.
Anyone with questions may contact Kasel at 800-218-4417 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MDT weekdays.
