Bravo Raw Food Recall

Now it's we BARFers who get to be paranoid.

From http://www.bravorawdiet.com/recallinfo.html:

Connecticut-based Bravo! announced a voluntary recall of select tubes of three of its poultry products for cats and dogs. The pet food is  being recalled because two of the products have the potential to be  contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, while the  other product has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria  monocytogenes.

Both Salmonella and Listeria are organisms which can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and if there is cross contamination, in people, especially small children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people with Salmonella  infection may only suffer short-term symptoms, such as high fever,  severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Long  term complications can include arthritis and other more serious  ailments. Healthy people with Listeria infection may only suffer  short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness,  nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The company has received no reports of illness in either people or  animals associated with any of the three products.

The recalled products are distributed nationwide to distributors,  retail stores, internet sales and directly to consumers, and they can  be identified by the batch ID code located on the hang tag attached  to the bottom of the plastic film tubes. The recalled products should  not be sold or fed to pets. Pet owners should return unopened frozen  tubes of food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet  owners should dispose of opened tubes of product in a safe manner  (example, a securely covered trash receptacle) and return the washed  plastic batch ID tag to the store where purchased for a full refund.

Another food recall story. It was in the news today. 26 "million" pounds of hamburger recalled. The good news was it is "people" food. ;-)

It took the USDA 18 days to conclude the meat was bad. A brief summary of this news at this link along with a bacterial study on raw diets for cats and dogs.

The meat recall prompted this post.
