Pet owners have been asked to return a festive flavoured pet food to the manufacturer because it contains salmonella and could cause food poisoning in humans.
According to the Food Standards Agency, Natures Menu is recalling its Country Hunter 80% Farm Reared Turkey with Wholesome Fruit and Veg frozen pet food, because the frozen product contains Salmonella.
The agency says the product could be a risk to people touching the pet food or from contamination of food preparation surfaces.

The agency said: "Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause food poisoning.
"The product could therefore carry a potential risk through direct handling or indirectly for example from food contact surfaces. In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
"The FSA is issuing this product recall notice because we are responsible for animal feed regulations and their enforcement through local authorities.
