The recall was initiated after at least seven cases of salmonella have been found to be linked to the brand's dog food since Nov. 1, according to the CDC.
"People in this outbreak got sick from touching recalled dog food, touching things like dog bowls that contained the dog food, or touching the poop or saliva of dogs that were fed the dog food," the CDC said. "Most of the sick people in this outbreak are infants. Take steps to handle dog food safely every day."
