FDA Warns of possibly Contaminated Dog Treat 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers not to feed their pets "Merrick Beef Filet Squares" if the package date says "Best By 111911" because of possible Salmonella contamination. No Illnesses have been reported, but the FDA is still advising consumers not to handle them or feed them to pets. The affected product comes in a 10-oz. green, red, and tan re-sealable plastic bag. If consumers cannot determine the "best by" date on the product, the FDA recommends they not use it.
