Common questions about Freshpet
What's the difference between Freshpet and DTC fresh brands?
Distribution. Freshpet sits in supermarket refrigerator sections — you pick it up alongside the groceries. DTC fresh brands (Farmer's Dog, Ollie, Nom Nom) ship to your door on subscription. Freshpet's retail-cold-chain model is unusual and the company is publicly traded (NASDAQ: FRPT). Not per-dog-customised the way subscription fresh is.
Has Freshpet been recalled?
Yes, July 2022 — Freshpet Select Fresh From The Kitchen Home Cooked Chicken Recipe recalled after salmonella was detected in finished product. Limited scope (specific 4.5-lb lots). No widespread illness reports. Freshpet's cold-chain model creates different safety challenges than dry kibble (shorter shelf life, temperature-abuse risk) but hasn't produced a major recall history.
