Arrow Reliance Inc: Dog Meals Recalled for Potential Salmonella and Listeria Contamination

Agency Publication Date: December 12, 2017

Summary

Arrow Reliance Inc is recalling 17,353 packages of Natural Selections brand raw dog food meals, including Chicken, Duck, and Turkey varieties, because they may be contaminated with Salmonella and/or Listeria monocytogenes. These pathogens were discovered during testing and can cause serious illness in both the pets consuming the food and the humans handling the raw product. The affected meals are 2-pound flexible film packages divided into four quadrants and were sold nationwide between August and December 2017.

Risk

Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe infections; pets may show signs of lethargy, diarrhea, and vomiting, while humans can contract the illness by handling the contaminated food or surfaces without proper sanitation. These bacteria pose a critical risk to young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
