Federal authorities have notified a Berks County raw pet food producer that its dog food has been found to contain salmonella.
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration “Warning Letter” sent last month to Lystn LLC DBA Answers Pet Food at 356 Maidencreek Road in Richmond Township says the company’s Detailed Answers Chicken Formula dog food showed traces of salmonella.
The FDA letter says investigators found salmonella in its Detailed Answers Chicken 8-ounce raw chicken patties and the 2-pound carton Detailed Answers Chicken Formula.
In a news release issued Wednesday and in a subsequent telephone interview, Lystn officials denied that the company is introducing salmonella in its pet food or allowing product in the market “that could result in illness to animals or humans.”
