FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Natick, MA -- March 9, 2007 -- BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. is recalling its 25-count packages of "Berkley & Jensen" Full-Cut Pig Ears dog treats with no lot number and only the expiration advisory "BEST IF USED BY 2009" (without referencing a specific month) because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious infections in dogs, and, if there is cross contamination, young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Confirmatory testing is ongoing but until the testing is final, consumers should immediately stop feeding the treats to their pets.

I have heard many bad things about pig ears. The thing that really shocked me was, that gross greasy feeling to them is because they are covered in sugar.

Thanks for the info, just another reason I won't feed these anymore.

You know what's even nastier looking are those pig snouts. I don't think I can bring myself to have Loki chew on those.
