Raw Energy expands recall of pet food because of Listeria test results

Raw Energy expands recall of pet food because of Listeria test results

Raaw Energy is voluntarily notifying the public of an expansion of a recall involving products produced between 7/17/25 and 12/23/25 due to possible Listeria contamination. 

Another batch date is 3/31/26 Beef and Turkey Medley. Some products produced during this timeframe were not tested, and bacterial presence was identified during the same period. As a result, products manufactured within these dates could possibly be affected.

Consumers are advised not to use, sell, or consume any affected product. Please discard these items immediately to help reduce the risk of illness.

Tested foods are listed below. Production dates are in bold type.

Pets can be exposed to Listeria monocytogenes through consumption of contaminated food. People can be exposed to this pathogen through multiple routes such as contact with the food and surfaces that have touched contaminated food, such as bowls, utensils, or countertops. 

Infected humans may display symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, fever, and lethargy. Severe infections can result in meningitis, abortion, and death. Pets exposed to contaminated food can be infected without showing symptoms. Infected pets, even if they do not show symptoms, can act as carriers and transfer Listeria monocytogenes to people through their feces and saliva.

Raaw Energy food is ordered via the firm’s website and picked up in person by customers. Products were distributed to customers in CT, DE, MA, MD, NH, NJ, NY, PA, and VA.

The products are packaged in either 2-pound or 5-pound clear plastic tubes sealed on each end with a metal clip. Products are sold frozen in brown cardboard boxes containing 5 to 20 clear plastic tubes. The cardboard boxes have white stick-on labels identifying the product flavor, ingredients, and date code.

Based on testing conducted on samples collected by New Jersey Department of Agriculture, some finished products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Not all the food was tested.

For your safety, please treat these products as potentially contaminated. We ask that you dispose of them in a secure manner so they cannot be accessed by people or animals.

The company is temporarily stopping all production of dog food effective May 21, 2026. This pause is necessary the company can carefully evaluate current issues, address them properly, and take appropriate corrective actions.

As part of this process, the company will be resurfacing key areas to make them smoother, more sanitary, and easier to clean. All drains and sewer lines will be thoroughly cleaned and treated, and additional cleaning efforts will be made on the evaporators.

The company will be purchasing a pathogen detection system and testing every batch to help ensure the safety and quality of our products.

About Listeria infections in people
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look, smell or taste spoiled but can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has handled any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure.

Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop. 

Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses. 

Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people such as cancer patients who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
