Raaw Energy Expands Dog Food Recall After Possible Listeria Risk: What Pet Owners Should Check
FDA has expanded its recall of Raaw Energy dog food because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. If you have this product at home, stop feeding it right away and check the lot codes, package size, and date information against the FDA notice.
This is an expanded recall, which means the company and FDA have added new product details to the original alert. For pet owners, the main takeaway is simple: if you have Raaw Energy dog food, do not keep using it until you confirm it is not part of the recall.
What changed in the FDA update
The FDA’s expanded notice adds more product information to the recall. The agency says the affected product is Raaw Energy dog food, and the reason is possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Readers should compare the exact product name, lot codes, package sizes, and any use-by or best-by dates listed in the FDA notice before feeding it to a pet.
If your bag, tray, or package matches the recalled details, separate it from all other pet food immediately. Keep it away from children and other animals while you decide whether to return it or dispose of it.
What pet owners should check at home
Look in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for any Raaw Energy dog food you may have bought recently or stored for later use. Check:
- The exact product name: Raaw Energy dog food
- All lot numbers listed in the FDA notice
- Package size and weight
- Any best-by, use-by, or date code information
- Where you bought it, including any retailer, distributor, or sales channel named in the notice
Do not assume a similar-looking package is safe. Only the exact product details listed in the FDA recall should be used to decide whether a package is affected.
What to do now
Stop feeding the product immediately if it matches the recall. Then take these steps:
- Move the recalled food away from other pet food and kitchen items.
- Check lot codes and package details carefully.
- Follow any return or refund instructions in the FDA notice or from the company.
- If you are not returning it, dispose of it sely so pets, wildlife, and children cannot access it.
If a pet seems ill after eating the recalled food, contact a veterinarian promptly. The FDA notice should be your guide for any company-specific return or disposal instructions, so use that first if it is provided.
Illness reports
Check the FDA notice for whether any illnesses, pet illnesses, or complaints have been reported. If the agency lists reports, that information will be included there. If it does not, do not assume there have been none.
For families who shop ahead or keep extra pet food on hand, this is a good reminder to review stored packages regularly. The safest next step is to match your product details with the FDA alert before serving it again.
Keep an eye on FDA recall pages for follow-up updates, especially if the company adds more lot codes or product details.
