What's Happening?
Raw Bistro Pet Fare has initiated a voluntary recall of two sizes of their frozen beef dog food due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall affects products distributed between September 1 and September 17, 2025, in California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota. The affected products include the Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée in 3-pound bags and 18-pound cases, both with a best-by date of August 27, 2026. The recall was prompted after an FDA-collected sample tested positive for salmonella, although no illnesses have been reported in pets or humans related to this lot.
Why It's Important?
Salmonella contamination poses significant health risks to both pets and humans. Pets consuming contaminated products can become ill, and humans handling these products are at risk if proper hygiene practices are not followed. This recall underscores the importance of food safety and the vigilance required by manufacturers and regulatory bodies like the FDA to prevent foodborne illnesses. Consumers are advised to return or dispose of the affected products to prevent potential health issues.
What's Next?
Consumers who have purchased the recalled dog food are urged not to feed it to their pets and to return it to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of it. Raw Bistro Pet Fare has provided contact information for consumers seeking more details or assistance. The FDA continues to monitor the situation and provides public access to recall information through its website.
