Potential Listeria risk prompts widespread recall by Texas pet food producer - Pet Food Processing

DETROIT, Texas — Texas Tripe Inc., a pet food manufacturer based in northern Texas, voluntarily recalled 26 lots of various products for potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The pet food products were distributed direct-to-consumer in 34 states between May 28 and July 1, 2019.

Recalled products include 16 of Texas Tripe’s formulas – Ground Turkey Necks; Chicken Tripe complete; Ground chicken with bone; Shepherd blend; Chicken Pork Salmon with egg; Chicken Blend Green Tripe; Phat Katz; Senior Pro; All-Star Bully Blend; Beef Blend; Duck-Rabbit; Goat Tripe Complete; Boneless Chicken Blend; Turkey Pork Blend; Beef Tripe & Ground Rabbit; and Wolf Run.
