Alert to the bird lovers in our membership
 
You may have already heard on the news that there has been a recall of certain types of bird food due to salmonella contamination. If not, you can find one original article here. The recall applies to 20-pound packages of Wild Birds Unlimited Wildlife Blend bird food with the manufacturing date code of 81132200 2916 08124, obtained from Burkmann Feeds. At this time, this is the only bird food recalled.
 
Those Wild Birds Unlimited stores that received bird food from that distributor have already pulled the food from their shelves, but all our birdfriends out there should check the food they have on hand to see if it matches the description of the recalled food. If in doubt, please contact your local Wild Birds Unlimited store. Please note that not all WBU stores receive food from the distributor under the recall, and of those that do, they may not receive all of their food from there. The contamination is linked to peanuts contained in a particular blend.
 
If you find, or simply suspect, that you have been using the food involved in the recall in your bird feeders, it is highly recommended that you disinfect your feeders and all containers (such as storage containers) that may have come in contact with the food. Salmonella is transmissable to humans and can lead to serious health problems, and wild bird populations can be infected with salmonella even without contact with the recalled food. You can find details on disinfection here, and please use all precautions to prevent contamination to yourself, your family, and food preparation areas.
 
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone you know. Thanks for your support!
