OC Raw Dog, a company in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, is recalling its Turkey and Produce Raw Food Formulation because of a possible Salmonella contamination.

Humans who are infected with Salmonella may develop any or all of the following symptoms:

• Nausea
• Vomiting

More serious symptoms may occur in some people, including urinary, heart, and joint problems. Young children and elderly people may sometimes die from Salmonella infection.

Dogs affected by Salmonella may show the following signs of illness:
