Salmonella in Pig's Ear Dog Treats

https://www.kcci.com/article/dog-treats-to-blame-as-iowa-leads-nation-in-salmonella-cases/28941586

DES MOINES, Iowa —
Iowa has the most cases of salmonella in the United States right now.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting 23 cases in Iowa. There have been 143 people infected with the outbreak. Strains of Salmonella have been reported from 35 states.

The CDC, FDA and state health officials across the country are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to contact with pig ear dog treats.

They're advising people not to buy or feed any pig ear dog treats.

People can get sick after handling the treats or caring for dogs who ate the treats.

If you have the treats in your home, put them in a secure container and throw them away.

New York has the second most cases with 16.
