Well, birds have to eat too, right? Unfortunately, this particular food meant for birds can cause salmonellosis in humans - not from eating the bird food, of course, but from handling bird food and then not washing your hands before say, eating.
Anyway, here are the details of the recall. Wild Birds Unlimited Wildlife Blend, made by Burkmann Feeds is being recalled after Salmonella was found in it. The affected product has a manufacturing date code of 81132200291608124 and is sold exclusively at Wild Birds Unlimited.
It’s not just humans that are in danger here, folks - this has been killing wild birds throughout North Carolina. So if you do have this product on hand, toss it out!
