RECALL ALERT: I and Love and You Dog Chews Recall Expands

SEPT. 22, 2015 NOTE: Some news outlets are reporting this recall today, because the FDA sent an email linking to the July 14, 2015 press release. However, there have been no additional recalls of I and Love and You products since July. The information below is from that July 14 announcement.

NatPets LLC, which earlier this week voluntarily recalled nearly 3,000 cases of I and love and you Cow-Boom! Strips Beef Gullet dog chews due to Salmonella contamination concerns, has expanded the recall.

  • Best by: 07/2016
  • UPC code: 8 18336 0113 4

NatPets LLC, which is based in Boulder, Colo., was notified July 10 by the Colorado Dept. of Agriculture that a routine sampling of I and love and you Cow-Boom! Strips Beef Gullet treats tested positive for Salmonella.
