The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an urgent recall for Rhondda Raw's Beef 80-10-10 raw frozen dog food after salmonella was detected in the product. Pet owners are advised to stop feeding the food to their dogs immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The affected products carry batch codes 040825/BM and 050825/BM, with a best before date of August 4, 2026. The packs contain 454g of meat and are sold across the UK. The FSA warns that even handling the food could pose a risk to humans, particularly vulnerable groups such as young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Salmonella can cause symptoms including fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, cramps, and severe dehydration. While most people recover without treatment, the infection can be serious and, in rare cases, fatal. The World Health Organisation notes that around one in 50 sufferers may develop a blood infection.
Rhondda Raw Ltd is cooperating with the recall and has issued point-of-sale notices in retail stores. Customers who have purchased the product are urged to check batch codes and return affected items for a refund.
