So far, no one has reported getting sick from handling the food, and there have been no reports of cats being sickened, the agency said. Consumers can contract salmonella through handling contaminated food or their infected pets. Salmonella can cause a potentially life-threatening infection in young children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems.

Even normally healthy people can suffer from diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting. Pets get many of the same symptoms and also appear lethargic.

Nestle Purina apologized to consumers in a statement announcing the precautionary recall, saying "the safety and efficacy of our products are our top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience due to this voluntary recall."

Nestle Purina said the cat food was sold in Colorado, Idaho and Oregon.

Included in the recall are:
