A salmonella outbreak linked to dog food sickened 27 in Canada, with six hospitalized, and remains ongoing.
A salmonella outbreak in Canada has sickened 27 people, primarily in Alberta and British Columbia, linked to contaminated dog food and treats.
Six individuals were hospitalized, and the actual number of cases is likely higher, as many with mild symptoms do not seek medical care.
Illnesses were reported across Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories between February and August, with most affected individuals being female and ranging in age from newborn to 87.
Public health officials say the outbreak is ongoing, no single supplier has been identified, and salmonella can spread through contact with pets, their food, or treats.
Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, typically appearing within six to 72 hours.
Health authorities recommend thorough handwashing after handling pet food, using separate utensils, storing pet food away from human food, and following storage instructions to reduce risk.
