It's rather curious that the company issued the recall 6 weeks after it ceased manufacture.
.Mars Petcare US Announces Nationwide Voluntary Recall
.
Franklin, Tennessee (September 12, 2008)—Today, Mars Petcare US announced a voluntary recall of products manufactured at its Everson, Pennsylvania facility. The pet food is being voluntarily recalled because of potential contamination with Salmonella serotype Schwarzengrund. This voluntary recall only affects the United States.

Salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if there is cross contamination caused by handling of the pet food, in people as well, especially children, the aged, and people with compromised immune systems.

The company stopped production at the Everson facility on July 29, 2008 when it was alerted of a possible link between dry pet food produced at the plant and two isolated cases of people infected with Salmonella Schwarzengrund.
.
Even though no direct link between product produced at Everson and human or pet illness has been made, Mars Petcare US is taking precautionary action to protect pets and their owners by announcing a voluntary recall of all products produced at the Everson facility beginning February 18, 2008 until July 29, 2008 when we stopped production.

Marshaaa, Darhling, you really must get out more and look around at what others towns are accomplishing instead of rehashing ancient history that you were a part of. Maybe you should even learn how to use a computer, not that hubby could teach you.
I had to put to sleep a dog a few weeks ago because we couldn't find a cause for his sickness. I was so upset, I couldn't discard his things, which included his dog food. Now I find that his food is on the recall list. So much for their 'voluntary recall' and the illusion of being responsible. Why would my vet think to check for salmonella?
