Wal-Mart has directed three of its southcentral Pennsylvania stores to remove possibly contaminated dog food from their shelves.
Stores in Shrewsbury, on Eisenhower Drive in Hanover, and in Chambersburg are among 69 locations across the nation to have sold dog food potentially contaminated with salmonella. Brentwood, Tenn.-based Doane Pet Care issued the recall Wednesday.
Jessica Blake, assistant manager of Wal-Mart in Hanover, said that, much like the recent recall related to tainted pet food from China, Wal-Mart corporate headquarters notifies managers what to remove from the shelves. A list of recalled items is then displayed in the store.
Doane Pet Care recalled the dog food after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration detected the presence of salmonella.
People who handle the food could potentially be exposed to the bacteria. The company said no illnesses have been reported.
