DETROIT (WWJ) - Pet owners are being urged to stop using or discard certain Natura Pet Products food and treats because of potential salmonella.
The company is expanding its original recall after sampling conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of salmonella.
Natura Pet's voluntary recall, announced April 19, includes all dry pet food products with expiration dates prior to and including March 24, 2013.
The brands include:
California Natural

Natura Pet, based in Fremont, Neb., is a maker of "natural" and "holistic" pet foods, according to a company statement on the Food and Drug Administration's website.
