          These products are made in a single, specialized facility.

precautionary measure, P&G is recalling all products made at this  
facility.


          Consumers who have purchased the specific dry pet foods  
listed should discard them.  People handling dry pet food can become  
infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly  
washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this  
product.  Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor  
themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea,  
vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.  
Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including  
arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye  
irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these  
signs after having contact with this product should contact their  
healthcare providers.
