According to the Food and Drug Administration, over 35 dog and cat foods have been recalled as a result of contamination with Salmonella Kiambu.  Cases of human infection traced back to handling contaminated pet food or contact with infected pets occurred between mid-January to late August 2023.  To date, seven cases have been identified in as many states but with many infections in pets and members of households remaining undiagnosed and unconfirmed.

The contaminated feeds were compounded by Mid-America Pet Food Inc. in a plant located in Mt. Pleasant, TX. Products were marketed under the Victor, Wayne, Eagle Mountain and Member’s Mark brands distributed extensively in the U.S.
