Dog Food Recall: Nestlé Purina Voluntarily Recalls Limited Number of Purina ONE beyOnd Our White Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food Bags Due to a Potential Health Risk

This is what we call a Dump & Run – This is when a company does a recall on a Friday or during a Holiday Weekend because they know most people are busy and won't find out about it. They can clear the shelves, start over and the consumer is none the wiser. Sad.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 30,  2013 – St. Louis, Missouri, Nestlé Purina PetCare Company (NPPC) is voluntarily  recalling a limited number of 3.5-pound bags of its Purina ONE beyOnd Our White  Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food from a single  production run and shipped to retail customers in the United States. This is  being done because one bag of the product was found to be contaminated with  Salmonella.

Only Purina ONE beyOnd Our White Meat Chicken &  Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food with both the "Best By" date and the  production code shown below are included in this voluntary recall:

*"Best By" Date and Production Code are found on  the back or bottom of the bag.

No additional Purina or Purina ONE dog or cat  products are involved in this voluntary recall at this time. No  salmonella-related illness has been reported to date in association with this  product.

Consumers who have purchased Purina ONE beyOnd Our  White Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food products with  the specific "Best By" Date and Production Code should discontinue feeding the  product and discard it.

Rarely,  Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including arterial  infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary  tract symptoms.
