K9 Natural Ltd has voluntarily recalled four batches of dog food.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the company is recalling K9 Natural Frozen Chicken Feast in 2.2 pounds and 11 pounds bags imported into the US in June 2017. Some of the batches have been distributed to pet stores here in Colorado. 

The recall is due to the possible contamination of listeria. 

Listeria Monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and possibly even fatal infections in animals and humans, according to the FDA. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, and diarrhea. The organism can also lead to more serious issues like meningitis and abortion.

The FDA says animals and healthy people can be affected, but some are more susceptible than others like the elderly, children, pregnant women, or those with weakened immune systems. Animals affected can display similar symptoms as humans. 

So far, no pets or human illnesses have been reported.
