Note: This article covers a recall that occurred in 2013. For up-to-date information on current pet food recalls, please visit the FDA’s recall website.
In 2013, Bravo! issued a recall for three frozen raw food diet products for cats and dogs because of possible salmonella contamination.
The affected products are:
• 5 lb. Bravo! Chicken Balance frozen raw diet chubs (tubes) with “best used by” dates of 3_6_15 and 3_12_15 imprinted on the side of the plastic casing. Only 26 cases with the 3_6_15 date were distributed nationally and 36 cases with 3_12_15 date were distributed nationally.
• 2 lb. Bravo! Chicken Blend frozen raw diet chubs (tubes) with the “best used by” date of 3_21_15 imprinted on the side of the plastic casing. Only 67 cases with 3_21_15 date were distributed nationally.
• 5 lb. Bravo! Beef Blend Burgers bags with the “best used by” dates of 3_21_15 and 3_22_15 imprinted on the back panel of the plastic bag. Only 47 cases with the 3_21_15 date were distributed nationally and 55 cases with the 3_22_15 date were distributed nationally.
No other products or sizes are affected.
The recalled product should not be sold or fed to pets. The company has received no reports of illness in either people or animals associated with this product.
While these products tested negative, Bravo! is allowing concerned pet owners to return unopened frozen tubes of food and patties to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should dispose of unopened product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash receptacle). Consumers who believe they have opened these products at home should just dispose of the product in a safe manner and contact the retailer where they purchased their product for a full refund.

I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you
ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A small number of my
blog readers have complained about my website not
operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in
Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?
so this food tested negative and they are recalling it anyway.. talk about your abundance of caution..
