According to the FDA, Albright's Raw Pet Food is voluntarily recalling one lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected product is sold as frozen 1-lb. bricks in clear vacuum packaging, generally distributed in 30-lb. cases.
The recalled lot was distributed directly to consumers nationwide and to select retailers in Massachusetts, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Wisconsin and New York, as well as through direct online sales. No illnesses in pets or humans have been confirmed or reported in connection with these lots.
The recall follows routine FDA sampling in which the lot tested positive for Salmonella species in one composite sample. The pathogen load has not been quantified, and third-party confirmatory testing is pending.
The recall is being conducted with FDA knowledge, said the company. "Albright's Raw is conducting further investigation, including third-party laboratory testing, to better understand this finding," the company said. "We remain committed to producing safe, high-quality, biologically appropriate pet food and will continue to update our customers and partners as more information becomes available."
