Freshpet salmonella recall overview:

• Who: Freshpet Inc. is recalling a single lot of Freshpet Select Fresh Kitchen Home Cooked Chicken Recipe dog food 
• Why: The product might be contaminated with Salmonella
• Where: United States

Freshpet Inc. is recalling a certain dog food as it may be contaminated with Salmonella. 

The recall was issued June 17 on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website, and applies to one single lot of Freshpet Select Fresh From the Kitchen Home Cooked Chicken Recipe (4.5 lb. bag), with sell by date of 10/29/22. 

Freshpet said it had designated this single lot for destruction, but a small portion of the lot was inadvertently shipped to retailers in limited geographic markets in the last two weeks. 

To date, Freshpet has received no reports of illness, injury, or adverse reaction, the company said.

The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits. 

The product may have been sold at some Walmart stores in Alabama and Georgia and some Target stores and other select retailers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia.

“If pet parents have products matching the following description and sell by date in their possession, they should stop feeding it to their dogs and dispose of it immediately,” the recall states. 

Salmonella can affect animals

Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and there is risk to humans, notably children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.

Dogs with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. 

Some dogs will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy dogs can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your dog has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, contact your vet and tell them about this notice. 

Meanwhile, a type of Freshpet food formulated for small dogs was recalled in several states last year because of potential salmonella contamination.
