Blue Ridge Beef recall: Puppy Mix and Kitten Mix — Salmonella risk

What Salmonella means for your pet — and for you

Salmonella can make pets ill, and puppies and kittens are more likely to show signs. Dogs and cats can also carry it without looking sick and shed it in their stool and saliva, spreading it around the home to people and other pets.

People can be infected by handling contaminated pet food, bowls or scoops and then touching their mouth — so the food is a risk to the household, not only to the animal.

Signs to watch for

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea (may be bloody)
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Less active than usual

What Listeria means for your household

Listeria monocytogenes is above all a risk to the people handling the food — especially pregnant women, older adults, young children and anyone with a weakened immune system. Treat the food, the bowls and anything it touched as contaminated, and wash your hands after handling them.

What to do if you have this product

  1. Check your bag, can or box

    Compare the brand, product name, size, lot code and best-by date with the list in the announcement. Only the listed lots are recalled.

  2. Stop feeding it

    Put it away from your pets straight away. Don’t give it away or donate it.

  3. Keep the packaging — or photograph it

    The lot code and best-by date are what the shop or company needs for a refund, and what FDA needs if you report a problem.

  4. Return or throw it away safely

    Follow the announcement — most companies refund at the store. If you throw it out, seal it in a bag in a lidded bin so other animals can’t get to it.

  5. Clean up

    Wash bowls, scoops and storage containers in hot soapy water, and wash your hands afterwards.

  6. Call your vet if your pet seems unwell

    Tell them which product and lot your pet ate, and when.

  7. Report problems to FDA

    If your pet got sick, report it to FDA through the Safety Reporting Portal — the lot number is the most useful detail you can give.
