MILWAUKEE, July 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stella &
Chewy's is voluntarily recalling some of its products due to
concerns of a possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
The recall was prompted by a positive test confirming Listeria
monocytogenes in Chewy's Chicken Freeze-Dried Dinner Patties
for Dogs, 15 ounce, Lot #111–15, during routine surveillance
testing by the Maryland Department of Agriculture.
There have been no reported pet or human illnesses associated
with this recall.
Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes
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.
As a precautionary measure, Stella & Chewy's is voluntarily
recalling all products nationwide from
Lot # 111-15 which includes:
