J.J. Fuds, Inc.: Various Pet Food Chunks Recalled for Possible Listeria and Salmonella

Agency Publication Date: January 12, 2016

Summary

J.J. Fuds, Inc. is recalling approximately 18,000 units of Chicken, Beef, and Duckling Tender Chunks pet foods because retail testing found Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella contamination. The recall affects 5-pound and 10-pound bags sold in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota between May 2014 and January 2015. These bacteria can cause serious illness in both the pets consuming the food and the humans who handle the contaminated products.

Risk

Listeria and Salmonella can cause severe infections in pets; however, humans are also at risk of infection from handling the raw pet food or touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms in humans can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea, while pets may show signs of lethargy, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain.
