Mars Petcare September Recall

Back in August, Mars Petcare announced a pet food recall in California and Nevada.

This month, Mars Petcare US announced a voluntary nationwide recall of products manufactured at its Everson, Pennsylvania facility. The pet food is being voluntarily recalled because of potential contamination with a type of Salmonella.

Many of the brands involved in the recall are national brands produced at multiple facilities, so be sure to check the chart available the Mars Petcare website.

The company said consumers should look for "17" as the first two digits of the second line on the UPC for products affected. For Pedigree products, they should look for "PAE" on the bottom line.
