The expanded recall included Performance Dog (chub) frozen raw dog food in both 2 and 5-pound sizes, “Green Tripe” frozen raw dog food in 2 and 5-pound sizes, “Beef” frozen raw dog food in 2 and 5-pound sizes, “Performance Dog” (patties) frozen raw dog food (all sizes), “Tripe” (patties 1/4lbs) frozen raw dog food in all sizes, Bones (smoked) in 14 varieties.

If you know anyone who might have one of the products outlined above, let them know the products mentioned have been recalled.
