Company announcement

Viva Raw LLC is voluntarily recalling two lots of dog and cat foods due to contamination with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.

The products were distributed between July 2, 2025 and August 21, 2025 directly to consumers nationwide and to a small number of select retailers in New York, Illinois, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas, California, and Arizona.

No illnesses in dogs, cats, or humans related to these lots have been reported to date.

Risk:

Salmonella and Listeria can affect animals eating the products, and there is a 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 or Listeria should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Rarely, Salmonella and Listeria can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Pregnant women are especially susceptible to Listeria infection, which can result in miscarriage. The young, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems are more vulnerable to infection. Pets with Salmonella or Listeria 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.

Impacted states: Nationwide

- Viva Ground Beef for Dogs; Viva Beef & Turkey for Puppies
