Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Stella & Chewy's is recalling approximately 1,270 cases of frozen raw pet food, including Stella’s Super Beef Dinner Morsels for Dogs and specific chicken and duck dinner morsels for cats. The recall was initiated after routine surveillance testing by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of the beef dog food. Consumers should check their freezers for the specific lot numbers and use-by dates listed and return any affected products to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
