Minnesota company, Raw Bistro Pet Fare, has voluntarily recalled two product sizes of its frozen beef dog food because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The affected lot was distributed direct to consumer and to select distributors between September 1 and September 17, 2025 in California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota. The products are sold frozen in sealed packaging.
The recall applies to the following products:
Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Frozen – 3 lb bags (UPC 858833002247) Lot 239, Best By 08/27/2026.
Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Bulk, Frozen – 18 lb cases (UPC 858833002629) Lot 239, Best By 08/27/2026.
Both of the above products have a “Best By” date of 08/27/2026 and lot number 239 printed on the packaging near the bottom of the back of the bag or box.
The potential for contamination was identified after an FDA-collected sample from a distributor tested positive for Salmonella. To date, no illness of pets or humans related to this lot has been reported.
Salmonella can affect animals eating contaminated products and poses a risk to humans from handling such products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after contact with the food or any surfaces exposed to it.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor for symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), abdominal cramping, and fever. In rare cases, infection can lead to more serious conditions such as arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers showing these signs after contact with the recalled product should seek medical advice.
Pets infected with Salmonella may be lethargic, have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, or vomiting. Some pets may experience only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and transmit infection to other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and shows these symptoms, contact your veterinarian.
