On the other hand, in an
era of Salmonella contamination scares and the 2007 melamine pet food recall, it is hard to know which «big brand» you can trust these days.
While instances of salmonella identified in pet foods has actually decreased in recent years, today people are more

This is the second recall in as many weeks for Kasel, which last month removed from market packages of «bully treats» — pet snacks made from dried bull penises —
because of salmonella contamination.
Wegmans Food Markets Inc. is recalling Traditional Medicinals brand tea due to the
risk of Salmonella contamination, according to an April 17 recall notice posted on Wegmans» website.
Aside from the risk
of Salmonella contamination, raw chicken is safe for dogs to eat.
