Watch video of Waymo illegally passing school bus in Austin
Waymo is planning a software recall after robotaxis repeatedly passed school buses and students in Atlanta and Austin.
Dog treats are being recalled in seven states due to possible salmonella contamination.
Consumers Supply Distributing announced the recall on December 24th. The affected products are Country Vet Biscuits – 4-pound bags of Original Meaty flavor and Heartland Harvest Dog Biscuits – 4-pound bags of Meaty Flavor with Chicken.
Products were sold in stores in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Montana, and Nebraska.
Salmonella can affect animals that eat the product, and handling contaminated pet products poses a risk to humans, especially if hands are not washed thoroughly after touching food or surfaces that have come into contact with the product.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website, healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
In rare cases, Salmonella can cause more serious illnesses such as arterial infections, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Anyone exhibiting symptoms should contact their health care provider.
Animals that have digested Salmonella become lethargic and may develop diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Your pet may experience a loss of appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected healthy pets can become carriers and infect other animals and humans.
Owners of animals that have ingested the recalled products are asked to contact their veterinarian.
How to identify recalled products
Products can be identified by:
Country Vet Biscuits — Original Meat Flavor UPC: 899623000463; Lot Code: 40906513; Size: 4 lb bag. Expiration date: September 6, 2026

No illnesses related to the recall have been reported. Salmonella was detected in the product as part of the FDA’s routine sampling program. Testing revealed that the product contained bacteria.

Consumers who purchased recalled products should stop using them and return unused portions to their point of purchase for a full refund.
