“This recall comes after we notified the company that routine samples of these products tested positive at our Food and Drug lab in Raleigh,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.
Two-pound bags of Blue Ridge’s “Kitten Grind,” “Kitten Mix” and “Puppy Mix” are being recalled due to salmonella and listeria contamination.
The products were distributed on Nov. 14 and December 20. They were packaged in clear plastic and sold in retail stores located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The recalled products include:
- Kitten Grind 2 lbs.: UPC 8 54298 00101 6
- Kitten Mix 2 lbs.: UPC 8 54298 00243 6
- Puppy Mix 2lbs.: UPC 8 54298 00169 6
Lot numbers and used by dates can be found on the silver tabs at the end of the tubes.
Salmonella and listeria can cause the same symptoms in pets as in humans, including fever, vomiting and lethargy.
So far, no illness has been reported.
The products in question were shipped to stores in 16 states in the last two months of 2023.
Consumers who purchased this product are urged to contact Blue Ridge Beef directly at [email protected] for a full refund or destroy the food in a manner inaccessible to children, pets and wildlife.
