Pet Food Recall for Salmonella in Raw Foods

Bravo Issues Pet Food Recall After Salmonella Detected

With more pet food recalls occurring across the country, more pet food manufacturers are becoming sensitive to testing for food-borne pathogens like salmonella and listeria.

On Monday, September 29th, Bravo issued a pet food recall for selected raw turkey and chicken food products for both dogs and cats because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. The recalled pet food was distributed across the country starting on November 14th, 2013 through distributors and sold both online and in retail stores.

The products under the pet food recall are:

In addition to the pet food recall for the above products, Bravo has also issued recalls for several other poultry products after concerns about salmonella. The company also noted that it is important for humans who purchased the pet foods involved in the recall should not touch the pet food, in order to avoid cross-contamination of salmonella.

People with salmonella infections often have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever as symptoms. Pets with salmonella infections display similar symptoms, including diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, as well as lethargy. Infected pets can be carriers of salmonella poisoning to humans.
