Kasel Associated Industries of Denver is voluntarily recalling their Boots & Barkley Roasted American Pig Ears and Boots & Barkley American Variety Pack dog treats because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
The recalled roasted pig ears and variety pack dog treats were distributed nationwide through Target stores in August 2012.

The lot number being recalled is stamped with BESTBY 13SEP2014DEN on both products. The recall stems from the lot testing positive for salmonella bacteria by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
The roasted pig ears are sold in a clear plastic bag that contain 12 pig ears and have UPC bar code 647263899158. The variety pack is sold in a 32-ounce clear plastic bag and has UPC bar code 490830400086.
Both animals and humans are at risk of getting salmonella poisoning. Animals can get sick from eating the treats while humans can get sick from handling the contaminated treat, especially if their hands are not washed immediately after handling the products.

Humans are also able to contract salmonella poisoning and should look for the following signs if they have handled the infected treats: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and a fever. If you think you could be infected, contact your healthcare provider.

Crunchy: Kellogg's recalling Mini-Wheats because of metal in boxes - Local News - Anchorage, AK | NBC News

Kellogg's Mini-Wheats are a little crunchier than usual. And that's not a good thing.

Kellogg's has issued a recall of nearly 3 million boxes of its Bite Size Frosted and Unfrosted Mini-Wheats cereal because of a manufacturing problem that left some packages contaminated with bits of metal.
Yup: Bits of metal. Not exactly the breakfast of champions.
"We have initiated a voluntary recall due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing part," the company said in a statement. "Recalled products include only Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size with the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the Best If Used Before date."
The boxes have "use by" dates between April 1 and Sept. 21 of next year. The recalled cereal was distributed nationwide.
This is the second national recall in just over two years for Kellogg's, maker of dozens of cereals as well as Pop Tarts and Eggo Waffles.
In 2010, Kellogg's recalled Fruit Loops, Corn Pops, Apple Jacks and Honey Smacks cereals because of a funky smell and flavor attributed to a packaging issue.

You can score a replacement box of cereal -- presumably with a lower quotient of metal -- by calling (800) 962-1413.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney infections. We are moving quickly to learn as much as possible and prevent additional people from becoming ill. We recognize that people will be concerned about this outbreak, and we will continue to provide updates and advice. What is the Problem and What is Being Done? The FDA’s top priority is protecting consumers and ensuring the safety of our food supply. The FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local public health officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney infections possibly linked to Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter, with a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) identifier of 97111. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a total of 30 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Bredeney from 19 states. Once FDA became involved in this fast-moving outbreak investigation, we began coordinating and working closely with the CDC and several state health departments, which have been leading their own investigations.  On September 20, FDA, the CDC and the state of California briefed Trader Joe’s on the status of the investigation, and the company volunteered to remove the suspected product from their store shelves. Trader Joe’s has also posted a customer advisory on their internet page and initiated a recall. As part of its investigation, FDA contacted Sunland Inc., which makes Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter.  On September 23, FDA and CDC briefed Sunland Inc. on the status of the investigation and the company volunteered to recall the almond butter and peanut butter products that were manufactured on the same product line as Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter between May 1 and September 24, 2012. On the evening of September 24, Sunland Inc. expanded their recall to about 100 products, which include peanut butter and other products made with nuts and seeds. A list of those products can be found in the company's recall announcement.  As the investigation progresses we will keep the public informed. What Do Consumers Need To Do? Consumers should not eat the recalled products. This is especially important for children under the age of 5 years, elderly adults, and people with weak immune systems. Consumers should dispose of the product or return the product to the store where they purchased it.

What is Being Recalled?
Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter is sold at Trader Joe's grocery stores nationwide and on the internet. Sunland Inc. products are distributed nationally via supermarket chains.
As a convenience, FDA has provided a list of products recalled by Sunland Inc., as found on the company’s press releases. The recall is limited to the products listed below that have “Best-If-Used-By” dates between May 1, 2013 and September 24, 2013. The “Best-If-Used-By” dates are stamped on the side of the jar’s label below the lid. Sunland Inc. has advised consumers to return the product to the supermarket of purchase or to dispose of it.

What are the Symptoms of Salmonellosis?
Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most people recover without treatment.
However, in some people, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.
Who is at Risk? 
Children are the most likely to get salmonellosis. The rate of diagnosed infections in children less than five years old is higher than the rate in all other persons. Young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems are the most likely to have severe infections. It is estimated that approximately 400 persons die each year with acute salmonellosis.
Who Should be Contacted?
Consumers who show any signs of illness from salmonellosis should consult their health care provider. The FDA encourages consumers with questions about food safety to call 1-888-SAFEFOOD or consult the fda.gov website.
Investigation Progression

FDA Sets Defective Products’ Alert

MANILA, Philippines — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday set guidelines on the transmission of information between FDA and other government agencies relating to rapid alerts on the recall and withdrawal of health products intended for humans and animals, but are defective or are fake.
The FDA said it will have a written procedure in the issuance, receipt and handling of notifications for defective products, batch recalls and other rapid alerts.
It said the rapid alert system will transmit “only those alerts whose urgency and seriousness cannot permit any delay in transmission.”
An assessment will be made to determine the seriousness of the defect, its potential harm to the patient, animals, consumers, operators and the environment.
The FDA has established three classes of classification in the recall of defective health products.
Class I defects are those which are potentially life threatening. Under this, a rapid alert notice will be sent. These include wrong products whose labels and contents are different; correct product but wrong strength; microbial contamination of sterile injectable or ophthalmic product; chemical contamination with serious medical consequences; mix-up of some products with more than one container involved; and wrong active ingredient in a multi-component product with serious medical consequences.
Those that can cause illness or mistreatment and outside the scope of Class I are classified as Class II defects. These defects are mislabeling; missing or incorrect information on the insert or leaflet; microbial contamination of non-injectable, non-ophtalmic sterile product with medical consequences; chemical and physical contamination; mix-up of products in containers; non-compliance with specification; and faulty closure with serious medical consequences.
Class III defects are those that may not pose significant hazard to health and withdrawal of the product is done for a different reason. These include faulty packaging like wrong or missing batch number of expiry date; faulty closure; and contamination like microbial spoilage or dirt.
In addition, the FDA said the rapid alert system may also be used to notify authorities of the recall of products or an embargo on the distribution of products following the suspension or withdrawal of a manufacturing, importation or wholesale authorization.
Under the system, the FDA will issue the alert if the product is first identified in the Philippines. It will lead in the investigation of the defect and issue appropriate alert.
All alerts will be sent via email.

LG Electronics and Sears Recall Gas Dryers For Repair Due to Fire Hazard

Trail mix sold at BI-LO recalled

Trail mix sold at BI-LO is being recalled because it is not properly labeled, which could be a problem for people with food allergies.
BI-LO announced an immediate voluntary recall on Southern Home Cranberry Nut Antioxidant Blend Trail Mix sold in the 16 oz. bag with a universal bar code of 0788003039 and a best-by date of March 12, 2013.

 The product is being recalled in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee due to a potential, undeclared presence of soy lecithin, which is a processed soy product. The processing reduces the content of allergenic proteins; however, persons with a severe soy allergy may still have serious reactions to the reduced protein found in the soy lecithin.
The recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution for customer safety, though the company has received no reports of illness associated with product consumption. The issue was reported to BI-LO by a customer.
"We encourage consumers in possession of the recalled item to immediately discard the product or bring it back to their local BI-LO,” said Allen Reavis, BI-LO’s vice president of grocery. “As part of the company’s satisfaction guarantee, customers who have purchased the product may visit their neighborhood store to request a full refund.”
To receive the refund, individuals must present proof of purchase through a receipt or the product packaging label.

Customers with questions about the recalled product may contact BI-LO’s consumer relations department at 1-800-862-9293. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET.
