Dogs Choice UK is recalling a number of frozen raw dog foods because salmonella has been found in the products.
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals.
The product could therefore carry a potential risk, because of the presence of salmonella, either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals.

In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
Infected animals may not necessarily display signs of illness, but symptoms can include diarrhoea.
Point of sale notices will be displayed in retail stores which sold these products.
The notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
