The massive recall stemming from a salmonella outbreak affecting peanut butter and peanut paste products now encompasses pet food. PetSmart is voluntarily recalling Grreat Choice Dog Biscuits, though the company noted that they had not received any complaints from dog owners and samples of the biscuits tested negative for salmonella.

Effective January 20, 2009, PetSmart® is conducting a voluntary recall of seven of our Grreat Choice dog biscuits (peanut butter and assorted flavors). We initiated the recall after determining these products sold between August 21, 2008 and January 19, 2009 contain peanut butter product linked to the salmonella recall announced by the FDA.
While some of these products have been tested and no traces of salmonella were found, we have recalled these products as a precautionary measure.

The voluntary recall covers the following Grreat Choice products:

Small Assorted 32 oz., UPC 73725702900

Small/Medium Assorted 4 lb., UPC 73725700601

Small/Medium Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700605

Small/Medium Assorted 10 lb., UPC 73725702755

Large Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700638

Extra Large Assorted 8 lb., UPC 73725700779

Peanut Butter 4 lb., UPC 73725700766
