Company recalls dog and cat food, 5 different products affected

UNDATED (WRKC) – A company has issued a recall of dog and cat food.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Viva Raw LLC has voluntarily recalled its dog and cat food products due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

According to the organization, the following products have been recalled:

• Viva Ground Turkey for Dogs
• Viva Turkey for Dogs in Pieces
• Viva Turkey for cats
• Viva Pure Türkiye
• Viva Beef & Turkey for puppies

Only products manufactured under lot 21244 are affected by the recall. Products in the affected lot were found to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, which poses a potential health risk to people and pets.

Viva Raw said it would notify all customers who received turkey or beef and turkey puppy products between May 16 and June 28.

The FDA said there have been no reports of illness. If you purchased any of the affected products, you can contact Viva Raw at info@vivarawpets.com for a refund on the remaining products.

Other affected products should be disposed of in a manner that prevents children, pets and other wildlife from accessing them, according to the FDA.

The organization recommends that people not touch contaminated produce with their hands, but instead use paper towels or gloves to place the food in an airtight container and throw it in the trash.
