Further testing found that one lot of Free-range Chicken tested positive for listeria monocytogenes, and one lot of Free-range Turkey tested positive for both Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.
Radagast Pet Food, Inc. voluntarily issued this recall as a precautionary measure.

Portland, Oregon ... company named after a LOTR character ... hippies managing a food operation with raw meat as an ingredient ... what could possibly go wrong?
My cat loves Pacific salmonella.
You’re welcome, and good idea.
Thank you FRiend
You’re welcome
This home grown poison instead of the normal Chinese supplements.
I hope they bothered to learn Spanish so they can talk with their employees every 3 months when they show up to check on things.
I make my own raw food for the cats. I quit doing it because it was time consuming.
The problem with kibble is mold during the manufacturing process, and yes, cats can get very sick from that contamination.
Another “ME TOO” pet food company with lots of PR, trendy products, and a company with little or no quality control or veterinary input.
” Just ask the cats.”
Sure, but they’ll never admit it.
awwww, sweet story!
How have you been? Same old here. You know the injury, I think :)
Without Spaghetti, I would have never made it. :)
Hope you are well.
Thank you for the heads up, Darlin’!
Ever since My Rocket passed from kidney failure, we have made
sure to feed our little fuzz balls renal food, dry kibble and canned,
all supportive of kidneys, lysine “treats,” and hard teeth-cleansing
“treats” to keep their little teeth and gums clean.
Plenty of fresh, clean, reverse osmosis water with “Real Water” in it
to make even the water renal for our furbabies.
All four of them are doing well. Midnight, Tootsie, and little Shadow
are all doing fine. Bobbie is still on diabetes meds, and she gets 3
units of insulin twice a day.
She’s taking it like a trooper, I’ll tell you what.
No more kidney failure for any cats in this house, ever again and over
my dead body.

I make one of my cat’s food. She’s allergic to grains, then developed struvite crystals and the prescription foods for that are loaded with grains. she prefers raw to cooked, so that is what she gets!
But buying raw food already prepared - seems like asking for trouble.
I never knew that was her name - how perfect for you!
yes, I’m glad you had her company. cats give the best unconditional love. dogs too. but a cat’s purr at night can’t be beat!
Are you a cat person too, Dolly?
I’m have 3 - the least number I’ve had in decades, so it’s time for another stray to show up!
him :) But he’s straight :)
