Northwest Naturals: recall of 28 August 2026

What happened

On 28 August 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a recall covering Frozen Raw Diet for Dogs, Chicken Recipe (6 lb bags, lot B-19). The reason given in the record: Possible contamination with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The dog recipe tested positive for both bacteria.

A posted recall is the regulator putting a specific product and a specific concern on the public record. It is not a judgement on everything the brand sells, and it is not removed when the story fades: it stays in the count a careful buyer can check, which is why our review scores count events like this one.

If this food is in your cupboard

This kind of recall is about bacteria, and it reaches people as well as dogs. Stop feeding the product, seal it away from other food, and wash hands, bowls, scoops and the surfaces it touched. Dogs carrying these bacteria may show vomiting, diarrhoea, fever or no signs at all; people in the house, especially the very young, elderly or pregnant, should treat any matching stomach illness seriously and mention the product to their doctor. Follow the notice for return or disposal instructions rather than feeding the food to any other animal.

We have not scored this brand's recipes, so no review score carries this event; the page stands on the FDA record alone.
