Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bravo! LLC has recalled several varieties of raw frozen pet foods, including beef, turkey, lamb, and buffalo formulas sold under the Bravo! brand. The recall involves multiple sizes ranging from 2-pound tubes to 10-pound tubes, as well as 3-pound boxes of frozen burgers. These products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness in both pets and the humans who handle the food. Consumers who purchased any of the affected products should return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.

Risk

Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe infections in pets and humans who handle the raw food; symptoms in animals include fever and diarrhea, while humans may experience high fever, severe headache, and stiffness.
