## Why This Recall is Important
Contaminated pet treats, such as Supercan Pig Ear Slivers, pose a dual risk to both pets and humans. Salmonella exposure in pets may result in a host of symptoms, ranging from lethargy and diarrhea to fever and vomiting. In some cases, pets can carry the bacteria without appearing sick and unintentionally transmit it to other animals or humans.
Humans, particularly those who handle or interact with the contaminated treats, are at risk if proper hygiene measures are not taken. **Symptoms of Salmonella infections in humans** include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, and, in severe cases, more dangerous complications like arthritis, urinary tract infections, or arterial infections.
Understanding the scope of this recall and its potential implications is vital to keeping you, your pets, and others safe.
