North Carolina-based Blue Ridge Beef is withdrawing thousands of pounds of pet food from the market following concerns about bacterial contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recall is applicable to 1,080 pounds of the company’s Kitten Mix and 1,380 pounds of Puppy Mix products, the company said in an April 11 announcement published by the FDA. The items, sold in two-pound packages, were determined to be contaminated with salmonella and listeria.
