Raaw Energy pet food recall expanded over listeria concerns, reported illnesses

Reported by FOX 5 Atlanta · May 24 at 10:00 AM · Summary by Pawdeck

Raaw Energy has expanded its recall of dog food to cover all products made from July 17 to December 23, 2025, plus one batch from March 31, after eight samples tested positive for pathogenic bacteria. The samples were collected by Connecticut and New Jersey regulators following a reported dog illness. The company has also paused dog food production starting May 21, 2026.

Background

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can spread through contaminated food, surfaces, and bodily fluids of infected animals. Recalls are often expanded when additional samples or illness reports come in, and the FDA typically issues advisories that name affected products by date and packaging.

Why it matters

Frozen raw dog food can carry listeria, which can make pets sick and can also spread to people in the household.

What you can do

Check the packaging dates and clip-sealed tubes against the recall list, and discard or return any matching product for a refund. Wash hands, bowls and surfaces after handling the food, and ask a vet about any unexplained illness in a pet that ate it.
