Steves2FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 13,  2013 - Bravo! is voluntarily recalling its 2 lb tubes of Bravo! Raw Food Diet  Chicken Blend for Dogs and Cats, product code: 21-102, batch ID code 6 14 12,  because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The recall involves 2 lb. Bravo! Chicken Blend  frozen raw diet tubes (chubs) made on June 14, 2012 only; no other products or  sizes are involved. The recalled product should not be sold or fed to pets. This  batch tested negative by a third party independent laboratory prior to release  for distribution to consumers, however routine testing by the Minnesota  Department of Agriculture of product collected from a single retail location  tested positive for presence of salmonella. While the testing discrepancy is  unclear, in an abundance of caution Bravo is issuing this recall.

The company has received no reports of illness in  either people or animals associated with this product.

The recalled product is distributed nationwide to  distributors, retail stores, internet retailers and directly to consumers, and  can be identified by the batch ID code 6 14 12 located on the white hang tag  attached to the bottom of the plastic film tube.

Pet owners should return unopened frozen tubes of  food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should dispose  of opened tubes of product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash  receptacle) and return the washed plastic batch ID tag to the store where  purchased for a full refund.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the  products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products,  especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact  with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella  should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea,  vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial  infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary  tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this  product should contact their healthcare providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be  lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets  will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but  otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If  your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please  contact your veterinarian.

In an effort to prevent the  transmission of Salmonella from pets to family members and care givers, the FDA  recommends that everyone follow appropriate pet food handling guidelines when  feeding their pets. A list of safe pet food handling tips can be found at:
