<p>Dear Seeing Eye graduate,</p>
<p>The Seeing Eye recently switched to Victor Dog food due to their high-quality diets specifically for working dogs and the availability to our graduates. Victor also had an excellent track record regarding food safety and recalls, until now.</p>
<p>Victor has recalled their dry dog food due to possible contamination with salmonella. This poses a risk to the dogs but an even greater risk to human health. Please read the email below and change to another diet as quickly as possible. Please carefully
discard all Victor food (save receipts for refunds from where you purchased the food). Food storage containers should be cleaned and disinfected before being used again. If you must handle the food, please wear disposable gloves, or wash your hands thoroughly
after handling.
</p>
<p>The Seeing Eye will be transitioning dogs back to ProPlan over the weekend. Dogs that were eating Victor Elite will now eat ProPlan Large Breed adult. Dogs that were eating Victor Hi-Pro will now eat ProPlan 30-20. Dogs that were eating Victor Ocean Fish
will now eat ProPlan sensitive skin and stomach.
</p>
<p>You could also consider other manufacturers based on your location and availability. Some other manufacturers to consider would be Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, or Eukanuba.</p>
<p>The recall notice from Mid America Pet Food follows below. For more information on the recall, go to

<h3>Mid America Pet Food Expands Voluntary Recall to Include Additional Dog and Cat Food Products Due to Possible Salmonella Health Risk</h3>
<p>Mid America Pet Food, Mount Pleasant, Texas, is expanding its October 30, 2023, voluntary recall to include additional pet food products, with Best By Dates before 10/31/24, made at its Mount Pleasant facility, due to the products' potential to be contaminated
with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect animals eating the products, and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed
to these products.
</p>
<p>Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial
infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers. Children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised
immune systems may be at greater risk of Salmonella infection.
</p>
<p>Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have may only exhibit decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect
other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
</p>
<p>Voluntarily recalled brands produced at the Mount Pleasant facility include: Victor Super Premium Dog Foods, Wayne Feeds Dog Food, Eagle Mountain Pet Food, and some Member's Mark varieties with Best By Dates before 10/31/24. Recalled products were distributed
to distributors and retailers throughout the United States.
</p>
<p>The Best By Date is found on the middle top of the back of each bag. This expanded voluntary recall is being issued due to some of the product lots testing positive for Salmonella through random and targeted sampling of finished product, including by the
firm and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
</p>
<p>As of November 1, 2023, seven people reported Salmonella infections.</p>
<p>Retailers and distributors should immediately pull all product from their inventory and shelves and destroy product. Do not sell or donate the recalled products.</p>
<p>Do not feed the recalled product to pets or any other animals. Destroy the food in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access. Wash and sanitize pet food bowls, cups, and storage containers. Always ensure that you wash and sanitize your hands
after handling recalled food or any utensils that come in contact with recalled food.
