Raw pet food recalled following consumer-reported pet illness

April 11, 2025

Blue Ridge Beef has recalled one ton of raw pet food due to contamination with Salmonella and Listeria.

On March 20, 2025, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets received a customer complaint of animal illness and responded by sampling 2-lb logs of the company’s Kitten Mix and Puppy Mix.

On April 1, 2025, Blue Ridge Beef was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that both products tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria.

Blue Ridge Beef’s recall announcement encompasses the following products:

Blue Ridge Beef Puppy Mix (2 lb; Lot #N25 1230)
Blue Ridge Beef Kitten Mix (2 lb; Lot #N26 0114)

This is the second recall issued by Blue Ridge Beef in 2025 and the ninth recall in eight years.

On January 31, 2025, Blue Ridge Beef recalled 5,700 lbs of its Natural Mix for Dogs (2-lb logs; Lot #N25/12/31; UPC 854298001054) after the North Carolina Department of Agriculture’s Food and Drug Protection Laboratory found Salmonella in a sample of the product. Although there were no pet illnesses associated with the January recall, two recalls initiated in 2024 were triggered by pet illness reports.

The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Lea-Way Farms (dba Blue Ridge Beef) in 2021, following a failed food safety inspection. A follow-up inspection also resulted in a failing grade (“Official Action Indicated”), yet there has been no subsequent evidence of enforcement follow-up actions.

Bottom line? Find another source of food for your dogs and cats until this company sorts out its chronic food safety problems.
