some products made at this facility have the potential for salmonella
contamination.  As a precautionary measure, P&G is recalling all products
made at this facility.

         
Consumers who have purchased
the specific dry pet foods listed should discard them.  People handling 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 some or
all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or
bloody 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 have 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.

         For further information or a product refund call P&G toll-free at 877-340-8823(Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST). Read further for specifics and UPC coding.
