Raw pet food products test positive for Salmonella, Listeria

FDA is asking veterinarians to advise owners to safely dispose of certain Texas Tripe products after the company issued a recall

August 15, 2019

Texas Tripe has recalled dozens of its raw pet food products after samples tested positive for Salmonella and/or Listeria monocytogenes (L. mono).

The testing was completed by the Office of the Texas State Chemist (OTSC), which analyzed 23 samples and identified 16 as having tested positive for Salmonella and/or L. mono. The products then underwent further testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and were, again, found to be positive.

FDA and OTSC shared their findings with Texas Tripe and the firm initiated a recall.

The recalled products were sold frozen in 20- and 40-lb. cases, which contain multiple plastic pouches. According to the company, they were sold directly to consumers in the following states:
•Alabama;
•Arizona;
•Arkansas;
•California;
•Colorado;
•Florida;
•Georgia;
•Illinois;
•Kansas;
•Kentucky;
•Louisiana;
•Michigan;
•Mississippi;
•Missouri;
•New Jersey;
•New Mexico;
•New York;
•North Carolina;
•Ohio;
•Oklahoma;
•Pennsylvania;
•Tennessee;
•Texas; and
•Virginia.

FDA is advising veterinarians to alert pet owners of the recall and suggest they safely discard any recalled products and thoroughly clean and disinfect the areas where they were stored.

Salmonella and L. mono can cause illness and death in humans and animals, especially those who are very young, very old, or have weak immune systems.

FDA to investigate after ABC7 exposes euthanasia drug in dog food

The ONLY way that pentobarbital gets into dog food is because the dog food maker is using meat from plants that render dogs and cats that have been euthanized.

The next time someone tells you that all pet foods are about the same, think of this.

The Bravo brand turkey and chicken dog and cat food products sold since last November were recalled after Nebraska officials tested samples and found salmonella, the FDA said. The company said a third-party testing lab had previously cleared the products prior to distribution.

The recalled pet foods are from a high-end line known as "raw diet," and must be kept refrigerated or frozen.

I think Diamond has had the most recalls and shut downs over the past many years and that is why I won't feed our pets any Diamond manufactured product. Including the Kirkland brands of pet foods Costco sells. We have been using Blue Buffalo for years and I haven't seen or heard of any recalls involving their foods anywhere.

I feed my westie mix California Natural Salmon and Peas (the only kibble I've found her severe allergies can tolerate), and I don't have any problems with it. Then recall dealt mainly with cat and ferret food/treats. The company was trying to be proactive by voluntarily recalling every product they make to test them, "just in case". So far, the dog food is fine, and it's now slowly making it's way back on the shelves. Unfortunately, it scared off my provider, and they've switched to carrying Merrick instead. Luckily, they've agreed to special order Maddie's food for me when I need it!

Update from FDA

1. Salmonella found in completed bag of food collected at plant
2. Salmonella testing of ingredient samples were negative
3. Salmonella testing of environmental samples were negative

It's a puzzle!! Where is it coming from????

From unclean slaughterhouses and underpaid immigrant slaughterhouse workers who don't care or who don't know any better. 😞

Is anyone held accountable? Are these feed companies compensating the sick and dead pet owners? Paying their vet bills? Replacing loved pets or valuable show cats and valuable show and hunting dogs? I think not....
