There are also pretty much ALWAYS some poultry and red meat recalls going on but I don't have time to look for those today. I was able to easily find these current animal food ones (some cat ones and some dogs ones posing the risk of transferrable illness to ferrets or to people ). DO read the full reports. The production facility used by several manufacturers was contaminated but some had their own tests come up negative but are recalling to be safe in case other bags contain bacteria.
