Summary

The Robert Abady Dog Food Co., LLC is recalling various sizes of its Abady Highest Quality Maintenance & Growth Formula for Cats because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella. Approximately 35 boxes across three different sizes (2 lb, 5 lb, and 15 lb) are affected by this recall. Consumers should look for cardboard retail boxes featuring a white label with color printing and a specific lot code stamped on the exterior. If you have this product, you should stop using it immediately to protect both your pets and the people in your household.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in cats and can also be transmitted to humans who handle the contaminated pet food, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands. Symptoms in pets include lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while humans may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and fever.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected product by checking the packaging for 'ABADY HIGHEST QUALITY MAINTENANCE & GROWTH FORMULA FOR CATS' in 2 lb, 5 lb, or 15 lb boxes.
  2. Check the exterior of the cardboard box for the stamped lot code 14029/21.
  3. Verify the product number on the packaging: 201-02 for 2 lb boxes, 201-05 for 5 lb boxes, or 201-15 for 15 lb boxes.
  4. Immediately stop feeding the recalled food to your pets and handle the packaging with gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after contact.
  5. Return any unused portion of the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact The Robert Abady Dog & Cat Food Co directly at their Poughkeepsie, NY facility.
