Fressnapf is recalling 18 types of dog and cat food as a precautionary measure. The reason is a possible salmonella contamination discovered by a supplier during a random check. Affected packs - also in Austria - can be returned to any store and the purchase price will be refunded.

Fressnapf Tiernahrungs GmbH has launched an extensive recall campaign for numerous varieties of dry cat and dog food from the MultiFit and Premiere brands.

Salmonella detected in pet food
The reason for this recall is the detection of salmonella in the affected products. The recall affects a total of 18 different products. The contamination was detected during a supplier's own inspection.

Fressnapf emphasizes that the recall is "preventive" and does not necessarily mean that "every single product" is contaminated. Nevertheless, the company cannot rule out the possibility of isolated contamination. The affected articles are listed on the product warning website for the DACH region.

Warning about affected feed types

The incubation period is usually 48 hours, in rare cases up to three days. Small animals, immunocompromised or older animals in particular may show more severe symptoms.
