Rawhide dog treats recalled
The Hartz Mountain Corporation has voluntarily recalled a specific lot of its Hartz chicken-basted rawhide chips for dogs.
That's due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot are potentially
contaminated with Salmonella.
The Secaucus, New Jersey-based company announced the recall Friday.
Hartz says the two-pound plastic bags of chips with lot code J-C-2-3-2-8-2 and UPC
number 3-2-7-0-0-9-6-4-6-3 were distributed to a national retail customer it didn't
identify.
Hartz says the normal testing it conducts through an independent outside lab didn't
detect the presence of Salmonella in any of its rawhide products, but sample testing
conducted by another laboratory did indicate the presence of the bacteria in a single bag
of the rawhide chips.
