Viva Raw LLC, based in Hillsborough, NC, is recalling several dog and cat food products due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, posing a potential health risk to both pets and their owners. The recall includes Viva Turkey for Dogs Ground, Viva Turkey for Dogs Chunked, Viva Turkey for Cats, Viva Pure Turkey, and Viva Beef & Turkey for Puppies.
The contamination was discovered during an inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA). FDA tests on samples of Viva Turkey for Dogs from Lot 21244 confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Although all products from Lot 21244 were intended for destruction, some were inadvertently released from the warehouse.
These products were distributed directly to consumers across all fifty states and the District of Columbia.
