Hartz issues recall on dog treats

Nearly 75,000 bags of dog treats have been recalled due to the possibility of salmonella contamination.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Hartz Mountain Corp. issued the voluntary recall after random sample testing by the FDA indicated the presence of salmonella in one or more 8-ounce bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs.
