Raw Bistro Pet Fare is conducting a voluntary recall of two specific sizes of its frozen beef dog food due to potential contamination with Salmonella. This recall is important as Salmonella can affect not only the dogs consuming the product but also humans who may handle it.
The recall affects the following products:
– Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Frozen – 3lb bags (UPC 858833002247) Lot 239, Best By date 08/27/2026.
– Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Bulk, Frozen – 18lb cases (UPC 858833002629) Lot 239, Best By date 08/27/2026.
Consumers should note that this lot has the identifying lot number 239, found printed near the bottom on the back of the packaging. The affected products were sold directly to consumers and distributed to select retailers across California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota between September 1 and September 17, 2025.
Symptoms of Salmonella exposure in humans can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), abdominal cramping, and fever. Pets that become infected may exhibit lethargy, diarrhea (including bloody diarrhea), fever, or vomiting. Some pets may show milder symptoms such as decreased appetite and abdominal pain.
Consumers with the recalled products are advised not to feed them to their pets. It is also crucial to wash hands thoroughly and clean all surfaces and utensils that may have come into contact with the contaminated food. Recalled dog food should be discarded or returned to the point of purchase for a refund.
This precautionary measure underlines the commitment to pet health and safety, ensuring that both pets and their owners remain protected from health risks associated with contaminated food.
