Four brands of dog food have been recalled after reports of five animals (likely dogs), one kitten, and two humans have gotten sick or died from contact with salmonella, according to reports from Fortune and USA Today.

The animal cases seemed to stem from from Darwin’s Natural and ZooLogics pet foods, both made by Arrow Reliance of Tukwila, Washington. Testing of the raw food came up positive for salmonella, and the FDA is investigating the incidents. Recalls have been issued for items manufactured by Arrow Reliance between October 17, 2016 and February 10, 2018.
