Popular pet foods recalled due to potential salmonella contamination

August 16, 2013 (WPVI) -- Proctor and Gamble has announced the recall of several types of pet food due to a potential salmonella contamination.

The recalled products include Eukanuba dry dog foods, Iams dry dog foods and Iams dry cat foods.

The company says the recall is just a precaution and that no instances of salmonella have been reported.

"Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products," Proctor and Gamble said in a statement.

The potential salmonella was discovered during routine testing.
