Blue Ridge Beef Recalls Puppy Food Over Salmonella Contamination

The FDA announced the recall of 9,600 pounds of Puppy Mix after a litter of puppies became ill, with products sold in seven states.

Blue Ridge Beef voluntarily recalled its Puppy Mix after FDA tests confirmed salmonella contamination in two-pound logs of the product.
The recall affects products sold between August 6 and August 23 in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
The contaminated Puppy Mix was linked to a reported case of illness in a litter of puppies, prompting FDA testing and notification to the company on November 27.
Salmonella poses health risks to both pets and humans, with symptoms for pets including lethargy, diarrhea, and vomiting, while humans may experience nausea, fever, and abdominal pain.
Consumers are advised to return or destroy the affected product and to sanitize any surfaces or utensils that may have come into contact with it.
