Pet Food Recall

The affected products were distributed to retail stores in the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arizona and Texas. This pet food recall was initiated after the FDA received two complaints associated with these products, including one complaint of a puppy death and one complaint involving two kitten illnesses. Subsequent testing by the FDA of a 2 pound chub of beef for dogs and kitten grind collected at a veterinary office revealed the presence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.
