Indiana-based dog food company Albright's Raw Pet Food has issued a recall for its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced due to possible salmonella contamination. The recall affects 1lb pouches with an expiration date of April 28, 2027, product number 20855404008367 and lot code C001730.
The product was distributed nationwide and to retailers in Massachusetts, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Wisconsin and New York. The company urges pet owners to dispose of the affected batches in a way that prevents consumption by children, pets and wildlife.
Salmonella can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and decreased appetite in pets. Infected animals may show no symptoms but can still spread the bacteria to other pets or humans. No illnesses have been reported from this recall.
Albright's stated: “We remain committed to producing safe, high-quality, biologically appropriate pet food. We will continue to update our customers and partners as more information becomes available.” The raw product packaging already includes handling instructions advising freezing and thawing in a refrigerator.
