It has just come to our attention that on August 31, 2018, G & C Raw of Versailles, OH, expanded its early August product recall to include all product lots manufactured from February 27, 2018 through July 20, 2018 due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The expanded recall encompasses 29 products sold under the brand names G & C Raw Dog Food and G & C Raw Cat Food, which are sold directly to consumers in GA, IL, IN, KY, MI, NC, OH, PA, SC and TN.
