If you've already opened the super sacks, make sure to seal the opened bag in a different bag that has no accessible openings, otherwise, wildlife may get to it.

Stay Up-To-Date On Recalls
It's always important to take recalls like this seriously. Salmonella infection is especially dangerous to individuals with compromised immune systems, elderly people, children, and pregnant people. Symptoms include fever, nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, and chills.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans.
