Updated Jan 6, 2024: What Dog Dood Is On Recall Right Now?
The latest dog food to be recalled is from Blue Ridge Beef. The company is expanding the recall of its 2lb Kitten Grind, 2lb Kitten Mix and 2lb of Puppy Mix products to an additional 16 states after salmonella and listeria were found in the products.
Salmonella and Listeria can impact animals consuming the products, and there is a potential danger to humans when they handle contaminated pet products. This risk increases, particularly if individuals fail to wash their hands properly after coming into contact with these products or any surfaces that have been in contact with them.
The products in question were sold between November 14, 2023, and December 20, 2023. They were packaged in clear plastic and available mainly in retail stores across CT, FL, IA, IL, MA, MD, MI, NC, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, VA, and WI. If you’ve purchased any of the listed products within the specified dates, please stop using them immediately. Safely discard any remaining product and its packaging.
For a full refund, contact Blue Ridge Beef at [email protected]. If you have further questions, you can reach Steven Lea at Blue Ridge Beef by calling (704) 880-4500 from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EST.

What to Do If Your Dog Food Is Recalled?
If your dog’s food has been recalled, stop feeding it immediately. You may obtain a refund by returning the food to the store where it was purchased. Alternatively, please dispose of the food in a way that prevents other animals from accessing it.
Consult your veterinarian if your dog has already eaten the recalled food to determine what actions you should take. It’s best to consult your veterinarian immediately, even if your dog shows no illness. Your vet can decide what action should be taken based on why the food was recalled.
Can’t reach your vet? Chat with a veterinary professional via our online live vet chat (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
You should file a complaint with the FDA if your dog becomes ill or dies after eating a recalled food product. Contact your state’s FDA consumer complaint coordinator for more information or file a report online.
Try finding a similar food to replace the recalled food, or ask your veterinarian for recommendations if you cannot feed your dog his usual diet. Dogs may experience dietary distress when their diet changes abruptly, so be thoughtful about your approach.
