Albright’s Raw Pet Food has voluntarily recalled one lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced after routine FDA testing found the product had the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. If you have purchased this product recently, check the lot number on the packaging before feeding it to your dog.

What Was Recalled

The recall covers the following product:

• Product: Albright’s Raw Pet Food Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced
• Size: 1 lb pouches (sold in 30 lb cases), clear vacuum packaging
• UPC: 20855404008367
• Lot Code: C001730
• Best By / Expiration: April 28, 2027
• Recall Announced: May 6, 2026 (FDA published May 7, 2026)

The product was distributed nationwide to consumers via direct sales and to select retailers in Massachusetts, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and New York. The lots referenced were also available through direct online sales.

Why It Was Recalled

The recall was initiated following routine sampling by the FDA, during which Lot C001730 tested positive for Salmonella species in one composite sample. While no illnesses in pets or people have been confirmed or reported, and third-party confirmatory testing is still pending, Albright’s Raw is proceeding with this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.

Salmonella can cause illness in dogs and can also be passed to people through handling contaminated food, contact with an exposed pet, or touching contaminated surfaces like bowls and countertops. Dogs infected with Salmonella may show lethargy, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, or abdominal pain. Some dogs may show no symptoms at all but can still shed Salmonella in their feces and saliva, posing a risk to other pets and people in the household.
