\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating an outbreak of salmonella infections linked to contact with pig ear dog treats.<\/p>\n
The FDA said salmonella discovered in pig ear treats can infect people, either from handling the treats or directly from a sick dog.<\/p>\n
Retailer Pet Supplies Plus has recalled bulk pig ear treats sold in its stores. Those are the kind it puts in open bins and sells individually.<\/p>\n
Pre-packaged branded pig ears have not been recalled.<\/p>\n
So far, 45 people in 13 states have been diagnosed with salmonella-related illness.<\/p>\n
None of these cases are confirmed to be a result of purchasing pig ears from Pet Supplies Plus.<\/p>\n
The Center for Disease Control says there are ways you can stay safe while feeding your pet:<\/p>\n
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling pet food or treats.<\/p>\n
If possible, store pet food and treats away from where human food is stored or prepared and out of reach of young children.<\/p>\n
Use a clean scoop, spoon or cup to scoop out pet food, not the pet\u2019s bowl.<\/p>\n
Follow storage instructions on pet food bags or containers.
