Mid America Pet Food is recalling 644 cases of its Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Hi-Pro Plus after the company determined that the food could have been exposed to salmonella.

The recall says the lot was produced in Mount Pleasant, Texas. The five-pound bags covered under the recall were marked with a lot code of 1000016385 and a best-by date of April 30, 2024.

Pet owners are asked to destroy food involved in dog food recall and sanitize hands after touching it

Mid America Pet Food says it has not received any reports of illness related to the recall so far. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Those who have the affected pet food are asked to destroy the food in such a way that animals and humans cannot access it. Pet owners are then asked to sanitize bowls and storage containers used with the food and both wash and sanitize hands that could have touched the impacted food, according to the Victor dog food recall. 

Consumers with questions about the voluntary recall can reach Mid America Pet Food Consumer Affairs at info@mapf.com or 1-888-428-7544 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday.

Midwestern Pet Foods agreed to pay $6.375 million earlier this year to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it sold pet food with dangerous levels of aflatoxin and salmonella contamination.
