Pet food brands manufactured by Mid America Pet Food have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination, the CDC announced on Thursday.
The brands impacted include Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Wayne Feeds Dog Food, Eagle Mountain Pet Food and some Memberβs Mark products.
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."

The company says the recalled products were distributed to distributors and retailers throughout the United States.
