Why It Was Recalled

The recall was initiated due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness in pets and humans. This is an expanded recall, building on an earlier FDA advisory involving Raaw Energy products issued in January 2026.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis in dogs, which may present as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, or neurological symptoms. Immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women, the elderly, and young children are at heightened risk if they handle contaminated products. Even if a pet appears healthy, they can shed the bacteria and pose a risk to household members.

What You Should Do

  1. Stop feeding the product immediately if you have any of the recalled formulas with matching production dates.
  2. Check your freezer against the full list above. Look at the formula name and the date stamp printed on the tube.
  3. Do not taste or serve the product to other animals.
  4. Dispose of the product safely by placing it in a sealed bag in a covered trash container, or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling any recalled product, and clean and disinfect any surfaces or bowls that came into contact with it.
  6. Contact your veterinarian if your dog has consumed any of the affected products and is showing signs of illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, or unusual behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I find the production date on my Raaw Energy product?
A: The production date is printed directly on the tube packaging. Look for a date stamped on the side or end of the tube in M.D.YYYY format (for example, 8.13.2025). Compare that date against the lists above for your specific formula.

Q: My dog ate some of the recalled food but seems fine. Should I still see a vet?
A: Yes, it is a good idea to contact your veterinarian even if your dog appears healthy. Listeria symptoms can take time to develop, and your vet can advise on monitoring or testing as appropriate.

Q: Can humans get sick from this recalled dog food?
A: Yes. Listeria monocytogenes can infect humans who handle contaminated raw pet food. Wash hands thoroughly after handling any raw pet food and clean all surfaces, bowls, and utensils. High-risk groups include pregnant women, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.

Q: Where can I return the product for a refund?
A: Return the product to the retailer where it was purchased. Contact Raaw Energy directly for further guidance on refunds or disposal if your retailer cannot assist.

Q: Is this related to the earlier Raaw Energy advisory from January 2026?
A: Yes. This May 2026 recall is an expansion of the earlier FDA advisory that flagged Raaw Energy products. The expanded recall covers a broader range of formulas and production dates. If you held on to any Raaw Energy frozen raw food from the original advisory, it is likely included in this expanded recall.
