Pets who become infected may become lethargic, have decreased appetites, and could have symptoms like diarrhea or fever, or vomiting.
Pets who come infected may not have symptoms and can shed the virus through their feces and saliva, spreading it to other pets and humans.
If your pet has consumed any recalled products, please contact your veternarian.
As of Monday, no human or animal illnesses have been reported from the product, but officials say the food should be thrown away immediately out of caution.
