Dog food with potential salmonella contamination that was meant to be thrown out but inadvertently shipped to some Publix and Target locations is now being recalled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Secaucus, New Jersey-based company said the "limited number" of impacted dog food may have been sold at Publix in Florida, South Carolina and Georgia — as well as some Target stores in Arizona and Southern California.
