STATESVILLE, NC. — Blue Ridge Beef is recalling 1,080 lbs of its Kitten Mix and 1,380 lbs of its Puppy Mix due to contamination with Salmonella and Listeria. The recalled lots include lot numbers N25 1230 and N26 0114. 

The products were distributed between Jan. 3 and 4 and sold primarily in retail stores in Virigina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York State, Tennessee, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. 

Due to a customer complaint about animal illness, samples were collected on March 20 by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. On April 1, the firm was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that the products tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria. 

The FDA urges consumers who have purchased these products to return them to the place of purchase or destroy the product in a way that children, pets and wildlife cannot access. Additionally, the FDA recommends that consumers wash and sanitize any surfaces or objects the food came in contact with.
