Dog Food Recall: Pet Owners Should Check Freezers for Albright’s Raw Chicken Recipe
A new Dog Food Recall has been issued for select Albright’s Raw Pet Food Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced because one lot may be contaminated with Salmonella.
This recall involves frozen raw dog food sold as 1 lb bricks in clear vacuum packaging, generally distributed in 30 lb cases. Because raw pet food is commonly stored in freezers and handled directly by pet owners, this recall is important for both pet safety and household safety.

Why This Dog Food Recall Was Issued
This recall follows routine FDA sampling. Product samples were tested for Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli, and the affected lot tested positive for Salmonella species in one composite sample.
According to the company, no illnesses in pets or humans have been confirmed or reported in connection with this recalled lot. The company also stated that third-party confirmatory testing is still pending.
Even so, Albright’s Raw Pet Food is proceeding with the recall out of caution.
Why Salmonella Is Serious for Pets
Pets infected with Salmonella may show:
- lethargy
- diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
- fever
- vomiting
- decreased appetite
- abdominal pain
Some pets may show no symptoms but can still shed Salmonella in their feces and saliva, potentially spreading it to people and other animals.
Pet owners should contact a veterinarian if their pet ate the recalled food and shows symptoms, or if Salmonella infection is suspected.
Why Salmonella Is Serious for People
People can become infected by:
- handling contaminated pet food
- touching contaminated bowls or utensils
- cleaning contaminated counters or surfaces
- contact with pets that ate contaminated food
Human symptoms may include:
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
- abdominal cramps
- fever
Severe cases can lead to more serious complications, especially in young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.
Anyone experiencing symptoms after handling the recalled product or after contact with an exposed pet should contact a healthcare provider.
