Mice Direct Reptile Feed Salmonella
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that human illnesses reported in 17 states may be related to frozen reptile feed now under recall by Mice Direct of Cleveland, Georgia.
The parent company, Biggers & Callaham LLC, is recalling froze mice, rats and chicks because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. There is a risk people who handle the dead animals can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands.
The FDA didn't say how many people are potentially sick from the contamination. The recall is based upon sampling by the FDA of frozen mice.
The frozen reptile feed was distributed in all states, except Hawaii, through pet stores and by mail order and direct delivery.
Frozen reptile feed was shipped in plastic bags with the following product codes M-SP100, M-P100, M-PF100, M-F100, M-H100, M-W50, M-A50, M-JA25, R-P100, R-F50, R-PUP50, R-W50, R-S50, R-M20, R-L10,R-J5, R-C5, R-M3 followed by E9, F9, G9, H9, I9, J9, K9, L9 or A10, B10, C10, D10, E10, F10, G10 and whole frozen chicks in 25 count bags.
