Stella & Chewy's, LLC: Various Pet Foods Recalled for Possible Listeria Contamination

Agency Publication Date: August 2, 2016

Summary

Stella & Chewy's is voluntarily recalling approximately 40,360 units of various dog and cat food products, including freeze-dried and frozen varieties. The recall was initiated after a routine test confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in one lot of dog dinner patties. As a precaution, the company is recalling all products that were either part of the affected lot or may have come into contact with it. These products were sold at pet specialty retailers across 18 states and through various distributors.

Risk

The pet food may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in pets and humans who handle the food. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea, and the bacteria poses a high risk to pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

What You Should Do

Check your pet food packaging for the following identifying lot numbers: 111-15, 110-15, 114-15, 104-15, 109-15, 115-15, 107-15, 105-15, or 113-15.
Verify the 'Use By' dates on the package, which range from April 21, 2016, to May 4, 2016, depending on the specific product recipe.
If you have an affected product, stop using it immediately and ensure it is stored or disposed of where other animals cannot reach it.
Return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Stella & Chewy's directly for further instructions.
Thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces, bowls, or storage containers that may have come into contact with the recalled food.
Monitor your pet for signs of illness and contact a veterinarian if they show symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for your state or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
