Go Raw, LLC, of Cottonwood Utah is recalling 2lb. frozen bags of “Quest Beef Cat Food” because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. The affected products were nationally distributed through retail stores. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall. Go Raw initiated the recall after it got notification by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture of a sample was collected and tested positive for Salmonella. The firm did conduct its own test which resulted in a negative result. Salmonella is not evenly distributed throughout a lot, which is why it could have been found on a small sample that the Minnesota Department of Agriculture took. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/go-raw-llc-recalls-one-lot-quest-beef-because-possible-salmonella-health-risk
