ANSWERS Pet Food is voluntarily recalling several of its products "out of an abundance of caution" due to potential salmonella and listeria, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The dog food was recalled after the FDA tested samples of the brand's pet food, which tested positive for salmonella and listeria.
ANSWERS' Detailed Beef Formula for Dogs, Straight Beef Formula for Dogs and Straight Chicken Formula for Dogs were recalled. So far, no illnesses related to the recall have been reported, according to the press release published by the FDA.
"Listeria monocytogenes rarely causes illness in dogs, but it is possible," the press release stated. "Dogs can have mild symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting."
Pet parents whose dogs have eaten the recalled products should consult with their veterinarian, the agency advised.

It is possible that dogs who do not show symptoms but have been exposed to the bacteria can transfer it to their human companions.
People who handle the affected food and don't thoroughly wash their hands afterward are also at risk of being exposed to the bacteria.
The product should be "thrown out or destroyed in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access it," according to the FDA.
