Summary

Viva Raw is recalling approximately 4,880 units of various duck pet food products for cats and dogs. The recall was initiated after the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting system identified positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella in the products. These bacteria can cause serious illness in both the animals consuming the food and the humans who handle the contaminated pet products.

Risk

Listeria and Salmonella can cause severe infections; pets may show symptoms like vomiting or fever, while humans handling the raw food can become ill through cross-contamination, especially if they do not wash their hands and surfaces thoroughly.
