Switch off raw entirely -- raw diets carry an inherently higher risk of bacterial contamination than cooked food or commercial kibble, since there's no heating step to kill pathogens. Salmonella outbreaks like this one are a recurring problem with raw pet food, not a one-off fluke.
Stay the course, no matter the diet -- recalls happen across raw, kibble, and canned pet food alike, and this system of testing, recalling, and warning owners is exactly how it's supposed to work. Panic-switching diets every time there's a recall isn't necessarily healthier for your dog than sticking with a routine and just staying alert to notices.
