Nestlé Purina PetCare Company (NPPC) of St. Louis, MO, is voluntarily recalling a limited number of 3.5-pound bags of its Purina ONE beyOnd Our White Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food from a single production run and shipped to retail customers in the United States. This is being done because one bag of the product was found to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Only Purina ONE beyOnd Our White Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food with both the best-by date and the production code shown below are included in this voluntary recall:

  • “Best By” Date: OCT 2014

  • UPC Code: 17800 12679

“Best By” Date and Production Code are found on the back or bottom of the bag.

No additional Purina or Purina ONE dog or cat products are involved in this voluntary recall at this time.

No Salmonella-related illness has been reported to date in association with this product. However, due to the time required to link illnesses to a food source, it is impossible to say whether or not any humans or dogs have fallen ill.

Consumers who have purchased Purina ONE beyOnd Our White Meat Chicken & Whole Barley Recipe Adult Dry Dog Food products with the specific “Best By” Date and Production Code should discontinue feeding the product and discard it.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the product, and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated products. People handling contaminated dry pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may exhibit decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

    Please …Please…Please… look into the IAMS Proactive Mini chunks two toned kibble food. My dog is dead!!!
    After my dog ate from a newly opened bag of Iams Proactive Mini chunks two tone, he got violently sick…and died. He was throwing up and pooping at the same time. He was having trouble breathing. He would continually be licking his paws which was unusual in between these episodes. We thought he ate something and his body was trying to get rid of it. We looked on line at various sites including IAMS and consumer affairs.com and was horrified to see hundreds of other people’s dogs having the same reactions and more as my dog did before he died. Is there any way you can look into this IAMS food situation. This food needs to be recalled and tested. Daily other dogs are getting violently sick and some dying as my dog did after eating this IAMS dog food.

    • Hi Linda.
      We are very sorry for your loss.
      It’s important that you report this information to the food manufacturer and the FDA. In addition go to The Truth About Pet Food and Pet Food Advisors. These two groups are industry watchdogs and need the infirmation for their database and reporting.

      We understand your pain and wish that you didn’t have to go through this horrible loss.

        Thank you for your response…
        I have already reported to the IAMS company, the FDA and the USDA. I will now get in contact with the other two groups you suggested:
        1.) The Truth About Pet Food
        2.) Pet Food Advisors.

        Do you have any suggestions where I can get the dog food tested. I have kept the dog food.
        Linda James
