FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Eagle, Idaho) March was a bad month for pet food manufacturers. A number of pet food brands recalled their items for a variety of reasons. EuroCan Manufacturing recalled their pig ear dog treats, due to possible salmonella contamination,Wellness Beef Topper for Dogs and Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe took their products off shelves due to possible contamination with beef thyroid hormone and Evanger's Dog and Cat Food had to recall their products following the death of a dog. Pentobarbital was found in the dog's food and in two cans of food in the manufacturer's facility. For this reason, many pet owners want foods made in America for their furry friends, and Betsy Farms (http://www.betsyfarms.com) can be of help. …show more content…

This ensures the ingredients are wholesome and all are free of artificial flavors and colors as well as wheat. The products contain real poultry, in the form of chicken, duck or turkey, to ensure pets get the protein they need to thrive," staff members at Betsy Farms (www.betsyfarms.com) explain.

A pet owner cannot be too careful when it comes to their animal's health. Imported pet products, especially pet jerky, have been in the news quite a bit lately. March was only one of many months where items had to be taken off of store shelves to ensure pets weren't harmed. In February 2017, Blue Buffalo Homestyle Healthy Weight Chicken dinners were pulled for possible aluminum contamination, and Against the Grain Pet Food Pulled Beef with Gravy was removed for possible contamination with pentobarbital. Metal was found in PetSmart Grreat Choice Adult Dog Food.

The poultry is cook at a temperature high enough to ensure the bacteria is eliminated. This is done before the poultry is pulverized and mixed with other ingredients.

    These bacteria are commonly found on many raw foods. Normally a large number of food-poisoning bacteria must be present to cause illness. Therefore, illness can be prevented by (1) controlling the initial number of bacteria present, (2) preventing the small number from growing, (3) destroying the bacteria by proper cooking and (4) avoiding re-contamination. Poor personal hygiene, improper cleaning of storage and preparation areas and unclean utensils cause contamination of raw and cooked foods.
