Officials said the foods have potential to be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in animals eating the products.
Furthermore, there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, FDA
officials said.
Pets with listeria monocytogenes infections are rare, and pets may display symptoms such as mild to severe diarrhea, anorexia, fever, nervous, muscular and respiratory signs, abortion, depression, shock and death.
Pat's Cat Turkey and Ground Lamb Dog Food were distributed in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia by G & C Raw, LLC through direct delivery.
The Pat's Cat Turkey comes in 1 lb. clear plastic containers with the lot number WWPKTF051618. The Ground Lamb Dog Food comes in a 2 lb. plastic container with the lot number MFF022718.
