Pet food recalled after testing positive for salmonella and listeria: FDA

(WJW) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of certain puppy and kitten foods after a customer complained that their pet became ill and samples of the food later tested positive for salmonella and listeria.

According to the recall alert, Blue Ridge Beef is recalling more than 1,000 lbs. of their puppy and kitten mix sold primarily in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York State, Tennessee, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.

The products were distributed between January 3, 2025 and January 24, 2025. 

"Salmonella and Listeria can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products," states the alert.

Here's what pet owners should check for:

Product	Size	Lot Numbers
Blue Ridge Beef Puppy Mix	2 lb	N25 1230
Blue Ridge Beef Kitten Mix	2 lb	N26 0114

Anyone who purchased the affected products are urged to return them to the place of purchase or destroy the food in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access it.
