Salmonella warning issued

State fears dry dog food might be linked to illness

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. – Human cases of a rare type of salmonella illness have caused the state Department of Health to issue a warning to pet owners.

The health department says 21 cases of the illness in Pennsylvania residents might be linked to dry dog food and advises using safe-buying and handling practices.

The illness being investigated by the health department is caused by an uncommon strain of salmonella called schwarzengrund. Most of the infections occurred in households with pets or where people are in close contact with pets, but there is no evidence any human consumed pet food.
