From the FDA website:

December 23, 2021, Woody’s Pet Food Deli of Minneapolis, MN is recalling Raw Cornish Hen pet food “With Supplements” sticker due to a Salmonella health risk.

The product was distributed in the company’s retail stores in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Woodbury, Minnesota.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated 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.

The recalled products and label are listed below:

Two (2) 5lb tubs were sold in the company’s St Paul store. Twelve (12) 15oz containers were distributed through its 3 Twin Cities, MN retail stores.

The company continues their investigation as to the source of the problem and will resume production when the problem is resolved. The recall is a result of FDA sampling due to a consumer complaint on another product, which testing revealed a sample of this product contains Salmonella.

Consumers who have these products should discontinue use and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you have recalled product in your home, clean refrigerators/freezers where the product was stored and clean and disinfect all bowls, utensils, food prep surfaces, pet bedding, toys, floors, and any other surfaces that the food or pet may have had contact with. Because animals can shed the bacteria in the feces when they have bowel movements, it’s particularly important to clean up the animal’s feces in yards or parks where people or other animals may become exposed, in addition to cleaning items in the home. Consumers should thoroughly wash their hands after handling the affected product or cleaning up potentially contaminated items and surfaces.

Consumers with questions may contact our stores Tuesday through Saturday noon to 6 PM CST at 612-208-0335 (Minneapolis), 651-493-7269 (St Paul), and 651-340-8678 (Woodbury).

Our stores are closed from December 25, 2021 to January 3, 2022 and we are not able to answer phone calls during that time. Please contact us by email at info@woodyspetdeli.com.

For 13 years we have strived to provide quality pet food, and we believe taking this action is the right thing to do. We are grateful for your support. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

The following recall notice was sent by Nom Nom to customers on July 8, 2021:

We’re writing to advise you that Nom Nom is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Chicken Cuisine cat food produced by Nom Nom between March 8, 2021 and May 17, 2021 because of a recall issued by our supplier, Tyson Foods Inc. Certain chicken products produced by Tyson are potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall primarily affects chicken sold for human consumption at various retailers and food service establishments, and we encourage you to review the full list here to ensure you did not purchase any other affected products.

Only certain lots are at risk of being contaminated: Lots 18700, 18714, 18728, 18742, 18756, and 18770. The lot number is found at the bottom of the bag label (see below). If you have one of the affected lots, please stop feeding it to your pet immediately, take a photo, and email us.
While we wish we were writing under better circumstances, we want to assure and then reassure you that we are writing from a place of transparency, a desire to provide you as much information as possible, and a continued commitment to the health of your cat.

Reason for the Voluntary Recall

We are issuing a voluntary recall after consultation with the FDA following notice from one of our suppliers, Tyson. According to Tyson and the USDA, some of the chicken used in our Chicken Cuisine for Cats is subject to a broad recall for potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Our records show you may have Chicken Cuisine for Cats which may contain the impacted lots that were made with Tyson ingredients. You can find those lot numbers in the table below. The recall is being initiated as a precautionary measure and in keeping with our commitment to food safety.

• If you have already fed the impacted food and there is none in your possession, there is no ongoing risk to you or your cat under this recall.
• No other products or lots of dog or cat foods produced by Nom Nom are affected by this recall.

Risk to Health

At this time, Nom Nom has had no reports of cats or cat parents being affected by Listeria monocytogenes after feeding our product.

In a continued effort to provide you with the most helpful information possible, we want to share a little more about Listeria monocytogenes. It is a common bacteria found in the environment that can grow under refrigerated conditions. However, symptoms in cats are rare after exposure; according to the FDA fact sheet, “L. monocytogenes rarely cause disease in dogs and cats and, even when infected, pets usually have only mild gastrointestinal signs, such as diarrhea and vomiting. However, more serious signs are possible, such as fever, muscle pain, breathing problems, pregnancy loss, and even death.” Again, we have had no reports at this time of Listeria monocytogenes infection in any cat that was fed our Chicken Cuisine for Cats.

Listeria monocytogenes can affect animals eating contaminated products and there is a potential risk to humans handling contaminated pet products. Exposure to L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis in humans, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Actions to be Taken by You, Our Customer

If you should find any food from the affected lots below, please stop feeding the affected product immediately and destroy the food by placing it into a secure trash can for the earliest disposal. In an effort to track affected food, please kindly contact us by responding to this email with a photo of the food bag with lot code, including approximately how many affected meal bags you still have on hand, or call us at 415-991-0669.
