Health Alert: Major Dog Food Recall in California and Beyond Over Salmonella Fears
Pet owners in the Golden State need to double-check their freezers immediately. Albrightβs Raw Pet Food has initiated a voluntary Dog Food Recall California residents and pet lovers nationwide should be aware of, following a positive test for Salmonella during a routine FDA inspection. The specific product in question is the “Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced,” a popular choice for raw-diet enthusiasts.
Is Your Batch Affected?
The recall targets one specific lot of the frozen “brick-style” 1-lb packages. These items were sold directly to consumers online and through select retail distributors. While the company is based out of state, the distribution footprint includes several major hubs:
-
California
-
Massachusetts & New York
-
North & South Carolina
-
Wisconsin
The affected product is identifiable by its transparent vacuum-sealed packaging. While no illnesses in pets or humans have been reported to date, the risk of cross-contamination is high, making this Dog Food Recall California update a priority for local households.
Symptoms and Safety Protocols
Salmonella isn’t just a threat to your furry friends; it can pose a serious risk to humans who handle the contaminated food. Common symptoms in dogs include lethargy, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), and vomiting. Humans handling the product should look out for fever, abdominal cramps, and nausea.
What to do next:
-
Stop Feeding Immediately: Do not give this food to your pet.
-
Safe Disposal: Dispose of the product in a secure trash can where children, pets, and local wildlife cannot reach it.
-
Sanitize: Thoroughly wash all bowls, surfaces, and hands that may have come into contact with the raw meat.
How to Get Your Refund
Albrightβs Raw Pet Food is committed to rectifying the situation. To claim a full refund, do not return the physical product to the store. Instead, consumers are instructed to:
-
Take a clear photo of the product and the receipt.
-
Submit the photos along with purchase location info to info@albrightsraw.com.
Stay vigilant and keep your pets safeβsometimes the “raw” truth is that safety must always come first.
