Where Was It Sold?

The affected items were sold throughout the U.S. to wholesale distributors and retail stores for resale to consumers.

They were not made available in Canada.

How to Identify
the Affected Product?

To identify the recalled, it is necessary to compare the product description and bag size located on the front of the bag, and the UPC #, the lot code, and use by date located on the back of the bag with the list above.

Why Was It Recalled?

On July 2, Stella and Chewy’s was notified by the Maryland Department of Agriculture that it had issued a stop sale order on a single lot of Chewy’s Chicken Freeze-Dried Dinner Patties for Dogs.

And according to the company, there have been “no reported pet or human illnesses associated with this recall”.

However, as a precautionary measure, the Stella and Chewy’s has decided to voluntarily recall all products from Lot # 111-15 (listed above).

And even though they have not tested positive for Listeria, the company is also recalling a number of products that may have been exposed to the affected lot.
