Salmonella can affect both pets and humans who handle contaminated food products. Pets infected with Salmonella may experience lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, reduced appetite, or abdominal pain, though some infected animals may remain asymptomatic while still shedding the bacteria.
In humans, Salmonella exposure may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever, with more severe complications possible in high-risk populations including young children, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised people.
The company stated that no illnesses associated with the recalled lot have been confirmed or reported at this time.
Consumers who purchased the recalled product are advised not to feed it to pets and to dispose of it in a manner that prevents access by children, pets, or wildlife. Customers seeking refunds are instructed to submit proof of purchase and product photos directly to the company.
Albright’s Raw Pet Food said additional investigation and third-party laboratory testing remain ongoing as the company continues evaluating the findings.
