Recall – Select Aqueon Betta Food

Dear Valued PetSmart® Customer,

On Oct. 3, Central Aquatics expanded its recall of Aqueon Betta food to include the product listed below. This food is being recalled because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. No illnesses, injuries or complaints have been reported to date.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the products, and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Fish with Salmonella infections are not well documented and fish carrying salmonella typically do not show any signs of disease.
