ALERT! Blue Ridge Beef is a repeat offender with 5 product recalls in under 18 months. We advise caution.
Blue Ridge Beef has had 2 product recalls in the last 2 months, both for salmonella contamination. These recalls were both requested by the FDA who spot tested their foods and discovered problems. This suggests to us that the FDA may be concerned about the safety of this brand's foods, due to past recalls, and their failure to safety check their own products appropriately.
We have also seen previous recalls of Blue Ridge Beef products due to similar issues in Mar 2024, Dec 2023 and Oct 2023. That's 5 product recalls in under 18 months.
This is a higher instance of recalls than we see in most dog food manufacturers. And, while we usually advise that recalls are not indicative of a wider problem with a brand, we change our tune in the case of repeat offenders.
We'd advise caution when it comes to Blue Ridge Beef foods. For whatever reason, these foods are becoming contaminated on a semi-regular basis and we're concerned that any safety checks that are in place may not be adequate.
We did approach Blue Ridge Beef for comment on this matter, asking them to clarify the situation and what they are doing to ensure the safety of their dog foods going forwards. However, so far, they have not responded to our messages.
