May 5, 2011 -- An Illinois manufacturer of pet snacks has issued a recall of its Pig Ears for Pet Treats animal chews due to possible salmonella contamination, according to a posting on the FDA’s web site.

Key Manufacturing Co. Inc. of Paris, Ill., says in its news release that the recalled treats were distributed by truck to these states:

Pennsylvania
Virginia
Missouri
Iowa
Ohio
Illinois
Florida
Kentucky
Michigan
Arkansas
Indiana
Louisiana
Texas
Minnesota
Key says the recalled pet treats could sicken animals as well as humans who touch them.

The recall was issued as a result of a reported illness of a dog in Missouri that consumed the Pig Ears. The company says it has been working with the FDA to investigate what caused the problem.

The product was distributed in 100-count cases packed in cardboard boxes and shipped between Sept. 27, 2010, and Jan. 25, 2011
