STEVE'S REAL FOOD FOR PETS: Various Pet Foods Recalled for Salmonella and Listeria Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 19, 2018

Summary

Steve's Real Food is voluntarily recalling approximately 188 units (188 cases) of three specific raw pet food recipes: 5 lb bags of Turducken Recipe, 2 lb bags of Quest Emu Diet cat food, and 2 lb bags of Quest Beef Diet cat food. The recall was initiated because these products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella and/or Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness in both pets and the humans who handle the food. Consumers should immediately stop feeding these specific lots to their pets and return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella and Listeria can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in humans who handle the contaminated food without washing their hands; pets may experience decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. There is also a risk that pets can become carriers and infect other humans or animals in the household even if the pet appears healthy.

What You Should Do

Check your freezer for 5 lb bags of Turducken Recipe (UPC 6-91730-15304-5) with Lot code J155 and a 'Best By' date of 6/4/19.
Check your freezer for 2 lb bags of Quest Cat Food Emu Diet (UPC 6-91730-17103-2) with Lot code B138 and a 'Best By' date of 8/18/19.
Check your freezer for 2 lb bags of Quest Cat Food Beef Diet (UPC 6-91730-17101-8) with Lot code A138 and a 'Best By' date of 8/18/19.
Immediately stop using the affected pet food and ensure it is stored securely away from children, other pets, or wildlife until it can be returned or disposed of.
Return any remaining product to the retail store where it was purchased for a full refund.
Thoroughly clean and sanitize any bowls, containers, or surfaces that came into contact with the recalled food, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling the product.
