No other Raw Treat Pet Food products are known to be affected.
The Food Standards Agency said salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals.
A spokesman said: “The product could therefore carry a potential risk, because of the presence of salmonella, either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals. In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Infected animals may not necessarily display signs of illness, but symptoms can include diarrhoea.”
Point of sale notices are on display in all retail stores that are selling these products.
Customers who bought the products are advised to return them to the store for a full refund.
