No illnesses or other adverse effects related to the products have been reported, officials said. The recall is precautionary.
If any animals that have eaten the recalled food show symptoms such as sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat, vomiting, yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, or diarrhea, they should be examined by a veterinarian, officials said.
