2022 Outbreak of Salmonella Linked to Dog Gone Dog Treats, Massachusetts
In February 2022 the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) advised consumers who had any Dog Gone Dog Treats to dispose of them. Three cases of salmonellosis were linked to individuals handling these dog treats. The cases included two adults in their 70s and a child; all resided in Essex County. One open bag from a customer and several unopened bags purchased last week all tested positive for Salmonella at the State Public Health Laboratory.
