The recall applies to the following lot numbers and bag sizes:
- Lot number 1000016890, 5-pound bag, best-by date of 6/12/2024
- Lot number 1000016891, 15-pound bag, best-by date of 6/12/2024

The product should not be sold or consumed by animals.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends destroying the food in a way that children, pets and wildlife cannot access and says pet food bowls, cups and storage containers should be sanitized. People should wash their hands after handling the product.
Salmonella can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever in humans and animals, and in rare cases, more serious ailments.
If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has any symptoms, you should contact your veterinarian.
This recall is separate from the one reported by the FDA in September that affected one lot of Victor Super Premium Dog Food — Hi-Pro Plus in 5-pound bags with lot code 1000016385 and a best-by date of 4/30/2024.
