Bravo® Issues Nationwide Recall of Pet Food for
Dogs and Cats
PRESS RELEASE- May 17, 2014
Bravo is
recalling select lots and product(s) of Bravo Pet Food because they have the
potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
