ANSWERS Pet Food Withdraws Limited Lots of Beef and Chicken Dog Foods Due to Potential Contamination
Lystn, LLC, operating as ANSWERS Pet Food, has voluntarily withdrawn select lots of its beef and chicken dog food products due to the potential presence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, as detected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The affected products include certain lots of ANSWERS Detailed Beef Formula for Dogs, ANSWERS Straight Beef Formula for Dogs, and ANSWERS Straight Chicken Formula for Dogs. No reported illnesses have been confirmed, but the company has taken this step out of caution.
Both Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes pose risks to pets and humans. While Listeria rarely affects dogs, they can carry the bacteria and spread it to humans.
Symptoms in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, while humans may experience fever, headache, and muscle aches. Individuals handling contaminated food should ensure proper sanitation and contact healthcare providers if symptoms occur.
The products in question were distributed across the U.S., and customers are urged to dispose of them safely. Consumers seeking refunds are advised to contact ANSWERS Pet Food directly with proof of purchase and product information.
For more details, including lot codes of the affected products, consumers are encouraged to check the company’s website or reach out to ANSWERS Pet Food via [email protected].
This voluntary withdrawal emphasizes the importance of safety in pet food and the company’s commitment to public health, as it continues to collaborate with the FDA.
