An Indiana-based company is voluntarily recalling one of its dog food products due to potential salmonella contamination.
Albright’s Raw Pet Food of Fort Wayne is recalling one lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced product after routine sampling by the Food and Drug Administration found one composite sample testing positive for salmonella.
“While we continue to evaluate all available data, Albright’s Raw is proceeding with this voluntary recall to ensure the highest level of safety and transparency,” the company said in the recall notice.
