Raw Bistro Pet Fare voluntarily recalled two sizes of its frozen Grass-Fed Beef Entree dog food after an FDA-collected sample tested positive for Salmonella. This recall has since been terminated, meaning the FDA has confirmed the affected product was adequately removed from the market. We are publishing this notice so dog owners can confirm whether they received the recalled lot.

What Was Recalled

The recall covered the following products, both from the same lot:

• Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entree, Frozen, 3 lb bags — UPC: 858833002247 — Lot 239 — Best By: August 27, 2026
• Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entree, Bulk, Frozen, 18 lb cases — UPC: 858833002629 — Lot 239 — Best By: August 27, 2026

The lot number 239 and best-by date are printed on packaging near the bottom of the back of the bag or box. The affected lots were distributed between September 1 and September 17, 2025 to consumers and select distributors in California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota.

Recall Announced: October 9, 2025 by Raw Bistro Pet Fare of Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Recall Status: Terminated (completed) by the FDA.

Why It Was Recalled

The potential for contamination was identified after the FDA collected a sample from a distributor and it tested positive for Salmonella. No illnesses in pets or people were reported in connection with this lot. The recall was conducted voluntarily and in coordination with the FDA.

Salmonella can affect both animals and humans. Pets infected with Salmonella may show lethargy, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, or abdominal pain. Healthy pets can also carry Salmonella without showing symptoms and pass it to other animals or people through their feces and saliva. People can be exposed through handling contaminated food or surfaces, especially if hands are not washed thoroughly afterward.
