Oh, the recalls hit the news, but the vet professional organizations (like the AVMA) appear to be too indebted/linked to the pet food industry to pay attention to the elephant poop in the living room. They'd rather pretend it's the mouse droppings in the attic that are making everyone sick.... Bait and switch. Divert attention to what is NOT causing a problem so that no one notices what is.

You can begin with 2014 and scroll from there to other years on this site: http://www.petsadviser.com/pet-food-recalls/ I know that unless a recall involves a raw food company, I don't pay that close attention, and there have been very few raw brands recalled (Bravo has had a few in the past 5 years or so). Kibble, on the other hand, well...see for yourself -- and not just for pathogens, but also molds, aflatoxins, excessive vitamins, etc... I haven't done a "formal count" but my impression is that kibble wins the recall award hands down over raw.

Yes, Dr. Falconer there are more recalls for kibble than for raw food. I am in a recall list that they let me know when a food has been recalled or the treats.
I often wonder how do they get Salmonella in a food that is so cooked and processed!!
Yes that story of Jeri about Kymythy Schultz is really seeing is not believing! It is sad indeed!!
