Why it was recalled

The FSA's risk statement:

The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the products listed above. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals. The product could therefore carry a potential risk either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals.

In humans, symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.

Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.

Details from the notice

Raw Treat Pet Food Ltd is recalling four batches of frozen raw pet food because Listeria monocytogenes has been found in the products.

A Product Recall Information Notice tells the public about food that is unsafe and is being removed from sale.
