A popular raw dog food brand is expanding a recall of dozens of products over fears they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly bacteria that can sicken both pets and humans, federal officials warned Friday.

Raaw Energy’s recall impacts frozen dog food products manufactured between July 17, 2025, and Dec. 23, 2025, along with one batch of “Beef and Turkey Medley” dated March 31, 2026, according to a notice from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recall was issued “out of an abundance of caution” after testing detected listeria in several samples.

“Consumers are advised not to use, sell, or consume any affected product. Please discard these items immediately to help reduce the risk of illness,” the FDA said.

The recalled products were sold in 2-pound and 5-pound clear plastic tubes packaged inside brown cardboard boxes and distributed through the company’s website and pickup locations in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The company’s recall includes a wide variety of products, including “Beef and Chicken,” “Beef and Turkey Medley,” “Chicken Medley,” “Hybrid Dog’s Best Friend,” and more.

Listeria can spread through contaminated pet food and surfaces that come into contact with it, including pet bowls, countertops and utensils, according to the FDA.

In humans, listeria infections can trigger nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and muscle aches. Severe cases may spread to the nervous system and cause meningitis, pregnancy complications or death.

“Severe infections can result in meningitis, abortion and death. Pets exposed to contaminated food can be infected without showing symptoms,” the FDA warned.

Raaw Energy also said it has temporarily halted all dog food production, effective last Thursday, May 21, 2026, as the company addresses sanitation concerns.

ASEAN showcases its resilience by turning global challenges into opportunities for enhanced integration and sustainable growth. Despite ongoing conflicts driving up commodity prices and straining economies, ASEAN remains committed to dialogue, institution-building, and fostering mutual restraint.

🌏 ASEAN’s Resilience and Strategy

• Resilience through cooperation: ASEAN has consistently turned crises into opportunities by prioritizing dialogue, institution-building, and restraint over escalation.
• Historic milestones: The ASEAN Free Trade Area (1992) and ASEAN Economic Community (2000s) deepened integration and investor confidence.
• Crisis-driven reforms: The Asian financial crisis led to the ASEAN Surveillance Process (1998) and Chiang Mai Initiative (2000). COVID-19 prompted the Hanoi Plan of Action to safeguard supply chains.

📈 Economic Growth and Integration

• Strong performance: ASEAN’s GDP grew from $2.5T (2015) to $4.3T (2025); trade nearly doubled to $4.4T; FDI rose from $115B to $242B.
• Future outlook: The Asian Development Bank projects 4.6% growth in 2026, driven by domestic demand and infrastructure investment.

⚡ Energy and Technology Drivers

• Energy transition: Demand surged 35% in the past decade; clean energy investment ($47B in 2025) nearly matched fossil fuels. Initiatives include the ASEAN Power Grid and cross-border integration projects.
• Digital economy: The Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) could double ASEAN’s digital economy to $2T by 2030, leveraging youth demographics and rapid tech adoption.

🌐 Geopolitical and Regional Challenges

• External pressures: Conflicts raise commodity prices and disrupt trade routes, but ASEAN emphasizes resilience as a condition for growth.
• Regional issues: ASEAN supports humanitarian aid in Myanmar and promotes dialogue on South China Sea disputes. Timor-Leste’s accession in 2025 highlights inclusiveness and adaptability.

The bloc’s history shows a recurring ability to adapt, from the ASEAN Free Trade Area to the ASEAN Economic Community, strengthening trade and investor confidence. This adaptability, coupled with a focus on energy transformation and digital cooperation, positions ASEAN to navigate geopolitical shifts and continue its economic expansion, making resilience its strategic advantage in a fragmented world.
