Major Pet Food Recall Hitting Michigan Shelves


Let's be honest, your furry friends are family. When it comes to their safety and well being, nothing is more important to you.

This recall comes not long after cat and kitten food had been recalled previously from the same company.

Warning: Major Pet Food Recall Hitting Michigan Shelves

Blue Ridge Beef just issued a recall on 5,700 pounds of their 2-pound bags of Natural Mix dog food. The FDA, is currently warning that the bags may be contaminated with salmonella.

The UPC code for the affected recall numbers are 854298001054 with a lot number of N26/12/31.

Salmonella contamination, won't show up immediately if fed to your pets. In fact, symptoms may grow gradually, up to six days after initial exposure to be exact. Symptoms in animals could include:

  • Lethargy
  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Bloody diarrhea

In some cases, these could be fatal symptoms in animals, if the infection gets into the blood stream.

If you are concerned that your pet may have eaten any of the affected products, you should contact your vet immediately. Any vet bills at this time as well that are accrued due to the contamination, Blue Ridge is offering assistance. You can reach out to them at 704-873-2072. You can also send them an email at blueridgebeefnc@yahoo.com.

You should check your pets food before you feed them, especially if you bought this specific brand of dog food.
