The chicken-flavored raw, frozen food being recalled by the Lincoln, Neb.-based company includes 3-pound packages of chicken medallions, 6-pound packages of chicken patties and 2-pound packages of chicken chubs.
See Nature's Variety press release here. It includes the UPC numbers for affected products.
The company said it is now recalling, out of caution, all Chicken Formula and Organic Chicken Formula products with a "Best If Used By: date on or before Feb. 5, 2011.
Tests indicate packages with best-by dates of Oct. 29 and Nov. 9, 2010, in addition to the previously recalled packages with a best-by date of Nov. 10, 2010, may be contaminated with Salmonella.
Nature's Variety said it now uses high pressure pasteurization on its raw frozen diets to kill bacteria, which is why the company said the products with best-by dates after Feb. 5, 2011 are safe.
If you have purchased one of the affected products, please return the unopened product to your local retail store to receive a complete refund, or to exchange it for another variety. If your package has been opened, please dispose of the raw food in a safe manner by securing it in a covered trash receptacle. Then, bring your receipt (or the empty package in a sealed bag) to your local retailer for a complete refund or replacement.
The company has a customer care line that operates 24/7. Call 1-800-374-3142.
