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

The products are sold in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
"Do not sell or donate the recalled products," the FDA said. "Do not feed the recalled product to pets or any other animals. Wash and sanitize pet food bowls, cups, and storage containers. Always ensure you wash and sanitize your hands after handling recalled food or any utensils that come in contact with recalled food. Consumers with questions may contact Mr. Steven Lea at (704) 880-4500 Monday through Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm EST."
