Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BRAVO! LLC is recalling 319 cases of select chicken-based dog and cat foods after one product tested positive for Salmonella. Although other products in this group did not test positive, they were manufactured in the same facility on the same day and are being recalled as a precaution. The affected products include various sizes of Bravo Blends and Bravo Balance chicken diets sold in bags and chubs across 23 states. Consumers who have purchased these items should stop using them and return them to the store for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in pets who eat the contaminated food and can also pose a health risk to humans who handle the products, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after contact. Pets with Salmonella infections may become lethargic and have diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while humans may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and fever.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer or pantry for 2 lb chubs of Bravo Blends All Natural Chicken Blend (UPC 829546211028), 3 lb bags of Bravo Balance Chicken Dinner Patties (UPC 829546214012), 2 lb chubs of Bravo Balance Chicken Dinner (UPC 829546214029), or 5 lb bags of Bravo Blend Chicken diet Patties (UPC 829546215088).
  2. Verify if the package has the date code '12-05-16' printed on the label.
  3. Immediately stop feeding the affected product to your pets and handle the packaging with gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after contact.
  4. Return any unused portion of the recalled pet food to the retail store where it was purchased for a full refund.
  5. For further questions or to report an issue, contact the FDA's consumer complaint coordinators or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
