A Recall Has Been Issued on a Kitten Mix Sold in Massachusetts

If you are a cat owner and you have the Blue Ridge Beef Kitten mix in your home keep the food away from your pets moving forward as 1,350 lbs. of the 2 1lb. mix has been contaminated with Salmonella (photo below).

The Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory Ran Some Tests on the Product

According to the FDA, the product was distributed between July 18, 2024, and July 26, 2024. A sample of the product was collected on 12/12/2024 by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources and tested by the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory. The sampled product tested positive for Salmonella.

Massachusetts is one of six states that had the product available for purchase in retail stores. So whether you live in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, or anywhere in the Bay State, there is a possibility that the kitten mix could be in your home.

The FDA is urging people who may have the contaminated kitten mix to either destroy the product immediately or return it to the place of purchase. In either case, the contaminated mix must be kept away from children, pets, wildlife, and other people.
