Pet owners should be aware of a new recall after a product was found to be contaminated with Listeria.

Stella & Chewy’s has issued a voluntary recall for a number of items that may have come in contact with Chewy’s Chicken Freeze-Dried Dinner Patties for Dogs, 15 oz. bags. The frozen pet food was found to be infected with Listeria monocytogenes, although no pet or human illnesses are reported.

Listeria can pose a serious risk and even death in children, pregnant women and the elderly. Symptoms include fever, stiff neck, confusion, weakness, vomiting, sometimes preceded by diarrhea.

This notice was sent out to the public by the Chief Executive Officer Jen Guzman:

Dear Valued Customers:

On Thursday, Stella & Chewy’s was notified by the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) that it issued a stop sale order on a single lot of Chewy’s Chicken Freeze-Dried Dinner Patties for Dogs, 15 oz. bags (Lot # 111-15) because MDA detected Listeria monocytogenes in the product. There were no reported pet or human illnesses associated with this recall. Since learning this news, we have been working quickly to review the situation to find answers to the important questions on our customers’ minds. As a precautionary measure, we are voluntarily recalling all products from Lot # 111-15 which are listed below.

Furthermore, while they have not tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, in an abundance of caution, we are also voluntarily recalling a number of products that may have been exposed to the affected lot (please see the second chart below). The health and safety of our customers and their pets is always of the utmost importance to us. We are accountable for every dinner and treat we make and recognize that we have an important obligation to provide customers with the quality products they deserve and have come to expect from us over the years. Please see below for additional details about our recall actions and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
