About Listeria

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in animals eating the products.

Furthermore, there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Listeria monocytogenes should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, and diarrhea.

Listeria monocytogenes infections can cause serious andsometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

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.

In addition to the possibility of becoming sick, such infected animals can shed Listeria monocytogenes through their feces onto their coats and into the home environment and thus serve as sources of infection to humans and other animals in the household.

If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

    Are there any recalls on any of the Purina dry cat foods. We have never had a problem, but now it seems our cats will not touch it sometimes and seem to be sick. We only buy Purina Naturals/ indoor and outdoor/ Purina Complete. Were buying Purina kitten chow and mixing them, but have not seen Purina kitten chow in any store in over a month!

    I live in Georgia and my cat became deathly sick for no reason at all… I had fed her different cat foods and treats… I took her to the vet and they give her in IV … Her heart and lungs sounded good… but the poor thing was motionless like she was dying for a few days… There’s no explanation on why she was so sick… It makes me wonder if it was the cat food now? I don’t know what brands are on the list… but she’s on a antibiotic and feeling better now… It’s just weird how she got sick with no explanation of it…

  4. I live in Greensboro nc and my pit bull got very ill, the can dog food I use is pedigree. I later gave him a anti bacterial pill and later started to get a lot of better.
