Foodynamics, a food manufacturer in Wales, WI recently pulled some dog and cat treats after discovering their potential risk of Salmonella contamination. The FDA announced this recall on October 9th, 2025. Anyone with the recalled products should stop serving them to their pet immediately to keep everyone in their household safe.
Which Products Were Recalled?
Foodyamics voluntarily pulled lots from several pet treat brands: Raw Dog Barkery, BellePepper Cats, and Kanu Pets. An FDA sampling uncovered the presence of Salmonella, causing the company to pull the food right away.

These are the only products currently affected in this recall. The products were shipped from Wisconsin to retailers in Wisconsin, New York, and Florida. Foodynamics traced all the distributed products within hours of the recall and directly contacted customers.
No one has reported any health concerns related to this recall. Foodynamics halted production for these products while they figure out the root of the problem with the FDA's help.
How Does Salmonella Harm Pets and People?
Dogs and cats that eat the recalled treats could face symptoms like lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. If you suspect your pet is sick from eating recalled treats, visit your vet right away. Some pets with Salmonella don't show any symptoms, but they can still pass it to humans and animals.
People infected with Salmonella could experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and fever. In extreme cases, Salmonella infections could lead to more serious concerns, such as arterial infections, muscle pain, arthritis, urinary tract issues, and eye irritation. If anything feels off after you handle the recalled food, visit your healthcare provider just to be safe.
What Should You Do with the Recalled Treats?
When handling recalled pet treats, thoroughly wash your hands after. Sanitize anything the products touched, such as bowls, storage containers, and counters. Consumers can return the product to their place or purchase for a full refund or dispose of it in a way that no humans or animals can access it. Do not sell or donate any recalled products.
Foodynamics has already contacted the retailers that have these products. Retailers have been instructed to quarantine all affected items. If you have any questions about this recall, email Teresa Perry at info@foodynamics.com or call (262) 421-5339 Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
