Radagast Pet Food, Inc.: Frozen Raw Pet Foods Recalled for Salmonella and Listeria Risk

Agency Publication Date: September 30, 2016

Summary

Radagast Pet Food, Inc. is recalling approximately 14,561 units of various Frozen Rad Cat Raw Diet products, including Grass-Fed Beef, Free-Range Chicken, and Free-Range Turkey varieties. These products are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness in both pets and the humans who handle the food. The affected products were sold in various sizes ranging from 1-ounce samples to 24-ounce containers across the United States and Canada. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
