Company Announcement
Fort Wayne, IN – 6 May 2026
Albright’s Raw Pet Food of Fort Wayne, Indiana out of an abundance of caution is voluntarily recalling one lot of its Chicken Recipe for Dogs Complete and Balanced because this lot has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella can cause illness in pets that consume contaminated products and can be transmitted to people. Pets infected with Salmonella may show lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain, though some pets may show no symptoms. Asymptomatic pets can still shed Salmonella in their feces and saliva and spread it to people and other pets. Pet owners should contact a veterinarian if their pet has eaten the recalled product(s) and shows symptoms, or if infection is suspected. Salmonella infections in people can be serious and sometimes fatal. Infections can occur through handling contaminated product, contact with pets that have eaten it, or contact with contaminated surfaces (e.g., bowls, utensils, countertops). The risk of human illness increases if hands and surfaces are not thoroughly washed and cleaned. Symptoms in humans may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever; severe cases may lead to arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, or urinary tract symptoms. Young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk of severe illness. People experiencing symptoms a er contact with the recalled product(s) or an exposed pet should reach out to their healthcare provider.
