Gaines Pet Treats LLC, of Birmingham, AL has voluntarily recalled 204 of its 5-ounce bags of Gaines Family Farmstead Chicken Chips treats for dogs due to the possibility of Salmonella contamination. The back of the bags display lot number 20061124 and an expiration date of 12/11/25.

This is the only lot number identified as potentially contaminated, and no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall. The recalled product was distributed through online retailers and into several small independent pet retailers in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

The potential for contamination was noted after a third party tested and identified contamination in a related, unreleased lot of the same product. Gaines has made every effort possible to recover the potentially contaminated products.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and humans handling contaminated products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any exposed surfaces.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled product should stop using them, and contact Gaines at Recall@GainesFamilyFarmstead.com for an immediate refund or replacement.
