It's been a year chockful of recalls across the board. A couple weeks ago, 10,000 cans of Coca-Cola were recalled due to the possible presence of plastic in the affected cans. Nestlé USA also recently issued a recall of Lean Cuisine and Stouffer's frozen meals due to the potential for a wood-like material/substance present in the meals. Per Nestlé USA's website, the recall is isolated to a limited quantity of the following items:

• Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli
• Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli
• Lean Cuisine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of a popular brand of kitten and puppy food following a complaint from a customer who said their pet became ill after eating it. After subsequent testing, the pet food was found to have salmonella and listeria.

The recall impacts several states, including Wisconsin:

• Virginia
• Maryland
• Pennsylvania
• Connecticut
• Massachusetts
• New York State
• Tennessee
• Rhode Island
• Wisconsin

Blue Ridge Beef is recalling more than 1,000 pounds of their kitten and puppy food. The products were distributed between January 3rd, 2025 and January 24th, 2025. This is due to the ongoing concern of salmonella and listeria in the products:

Salmonella and Listeria 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 - The FDA's alert regarding Blue Ridge Beef pet food, per the FDA's website
