RECALL: Dog Treats by Boulder Dog Food

While it is nearly impossible to ensure that your pet will never come in contact with recalled pet food or treats, you can help to reduce your pet's risk by being informed of the latest recalls in the pet food industry.

Boulder Dog Food Company, L.L.C., recalled ten 3-ounce-bags of Chicken Sprinkles dog treats due to a positive test for Salmonella contamination.

This recall is limited to Chicken Sprinkles treats with a best by date of 05/04/16, lot number 998 and a UPC Code of 899883001231.

The product is in a clear plastic bag, and the UPC Code is located in the lower right hand corner of the product label on the front of the bag. The best by date and lot lumber are on a label on the reverse side of the bag.

The recall is a result of a routine sampling program by the Colorado Department of Agriculture which revealed a positive test for Salmonella in one package of Chicken Sprinkles.

The recalled Product consists of 10 bags of Chicken Sprinkles that were distributed to two retail stores in the State of Colorado, one retail store in the State of Washington, and one retail customer in the State of Maryland. Boulder Dog Food Company, L.L.C. has retrieved 8 of the 10 bags of the recalled Product, and believes that the remaining two bags of the Product have been used or destroyed.
