Peanut butter contamination affects PetSmart

PetSmart is recalling some products that contain peanut paste made by a company being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration for potential salmonella contamination.

Seven of PetSmart's Grreat Choice Dog Biscuit products are affected.

The peanut butter and paste is made by Peanut Corp. of America, a Virginia-based company. The products are made at its Blakely, Ga., facility.

Here's an article with more details from the Wall Street Journal.

PetSmart isn't aware of any pets becoming ill from the products but has removed them as a precautionary measure.

The recalled products include packages ranging in size from 32 ounces to 10 pounds, sold between Aug. 21, 2008, and Jan. 19, 2009.

UPDATE: Here's is PetSmart's press release about the voluntary recall. Products can be returned to the store for refund or exchange.
