April 20, 2018 — OC Raw Dog, LLC of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, is recalling its OC Raw Dog Freeze Dried Sardines product because it has the potential to cause botulism.
Botulism is a deadly disease caused by a toxin-producing bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum.
The toxin itself is one of the most potent poisons known and can be fatal to both pets and humans.
What’s Recalled?
The following products are affected by the recall:
Where Was It Sold?
The affected product was shipped to distributors in the following states with the intent to be sold to wholesalers… who in turn sell to consumers.
The OC Raw Dog Freeze-Dried Sardines product would be found in independent pet specialty stores within the following states:
The product is being recalled because the sardines in the package exceed the FDA compliance guideline for fish larger than 5 inches.
The FDA has determined that salt-cured, dried, or fermented un-eviscerated (un-gutted) fish larger than 5 inches have been linked to outbreaks of botulism poisoning between 1981 and 1987… and again in 1991.
OC Raw was notified by the Minnesota Department of Food and Agriculture after a sample of its OC Raw Dog Freeze Dried Sardines was collected and determined to contain un-eviscerated or intact un-gutted fish that measure 6 to 6.5 inches.
This is greater than FDA guidelines of 5 inches for un-eviscerated fish.
This product has not tested positive for Clostridium botulinum.
Minnesota Department of Food and Agriculture also tested the product for Salmonella where the test returned negative.
About Botulism
Clostridium botulinum can cause severe and potentially fatal toxicity in both animals consuming the pet treat and people handling the pet treat or coming in contact with contact areas that have been exposed to the product.
Common symptoms may include dizziness, blurred or double vision, trouble with speaking or swallowing, difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, abdominal distension, and constipation.
Pets or persons experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
Company Message

We are dedicated to producing a safe and quality product.
Because safety and quality is our priority we are conducting this voluntarily recall, we will be changing our sardine suppliers to insure the new Sardines are less than 5 inches.

What to Do?

About Listeria

Short-term symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, which can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
