Raw Bistro Pet Fare of Cannon Falls, Minnesota, has issued a voluntary recall of select lots of its Grass-Fed Beef Entrée frozen dog food after testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected potential Salmonella contamination.

The recall was initiated after an FDA sample tested positive for the bacteria. No illnesses in pets or humans have been reported at this time.

The recall is limited to the following products from lot code 239 with a Best By date of August 27, 2026:

Why the Recall Was Issued

Routine FDA sampling detected Salmonella in the affected products. As a precaution, Raw Bistro initiated a voluntary recall to protect pets and consumers.

Although no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella can affect both animals that eat contaminated food and people who handle it or contaminated surfaces.

Health Risks

Salmonella exposure can cause illness in pets and humans.

Possible symptoms in humans:
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), abdominal cramps, and fever. In rare cases, infection may lead to more serious complications such as arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, or urinary symptoms.

Possible symptoms in pets:
Diarrhea (sometimes bloody), vomiting, fever, lethargy, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Some pets may show no symptoms but can still shed bacteria and spread infection.

Contact a healthcare provider or veterinarian if symptoms appear after exposure.

• Stop feeding it immediately
• Dispose of it in a sealed container where pets and wildlife cannot access it
