Salmonella Pig Ear Dog Treats Outbreak in Canada Ends With 10 Sick
The Salmonella pig ear dog treats outbreak in Canada has ended after sickening 10 people in three provinces, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. The investigation is winding down.
Investigators identified exposure to pig ear dog treats as a likely source of this outbreak. Some patients told investigators that they fed their dog Paws Up! and Western Family brands of pig ear dog treats before they got sick. Those brands are sold at Save-On-Foods and Canadian Tire.
On September 29 2020, the company that supplies those dog treats to those stores, Masters Best Friend, voluntarily issued a Notice of Stop Sale for Paws Up! and Western Family brands of pig ear dog treats. These products were sold nationally at the retail level.
