Blue Ridge Beef Expands Pet Food Recall Over Salmonella and Listeria Contamination

The FDA confirms a recall of over 2,400 pounds of Puppy and Kitten Mix products distributed across nine states due to bacterial contamination risks.

The recall involves 1,080 pounds of Kitten Mix (Lot N26 0114) and 1,380 pounds of Puppy Mix (Lot N25 1230), sold between January 3 and January 24, 2025.
Products were distributed in nine states, including Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.
The recall was prompted by a customer complaint of pet illness, with subsequent testing confirming contamination with Salmonella and Listeria.
Both pets and humans are at risk of serious health issues if exposed, with symptoms ranging from nausea and vomiting to fever and, in severe cases, more serious complications.
Consumers are advised to return or safely dispose of the affected products and thoroughly clean any surfaces or items that may have come into contact with them.
