According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a total of seven people, six of them being infants, reported Salmonella infections.
The FDA is currently investigating this case and said, “Five of these cases reported exposure to dogs and three reported feeding Victor pet food to their pets.”
The FDA continues to advise consumers to throw away the recalled products in a secure container where no human or animal can access it.
