Bravo Dog Food Recall July 2015

July 23, 2015 — Bravo Pet Foods of Manchester, Connecticut, is recalling select lots of Bravo Chicken pet foods for dogs and cats due to concerns of the possible presence of Salmonella.

The recall was initiated after routine testing by the New York State Department of Agriculture revealed the presence of Salmonella contamination.

Bravo has received no reports of illness to date in either humans or animals associated with these products.

What’s Being Recalled?

The following product is being voluntarily recalled because of the possible presence of Salmonella.

The following items did not test positive for Salmonella. However, they are also being voluntarily recalled out of an abundance of caution.

That’s because these items were manufactured in the same manufacturing facility on the same day as the product that tested positive.

These products were sold to distributors, retail stores, Internet retailers and directly to consumers in the U.S.

All products had tested negative by a third party independent laboratory prior to release for distribution to consumers.

No additional products are affected by this recall.

About Salmonella

Salmonella can cause serious illness or fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal cramping and diarrhea.
