Northwest Naturals Recalls One Lot of Raw Cat Food Following Bird Flu Death

Northwest Naturals of Portland, Oregon, has voluntarily recalled a single lot of its Northwest Naturals 2-pound Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food after it tested positive for the highly-pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus.

The contamination was discovered after a domestic cat was fed the recalled product and later died. Testing by the cat’s veterinarian prompted a call to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, which confirmed the presence of the HPAI virus in the consumed product. Consumption of raw or uncooked pet food contaminated with HPAI can cause illness in animals.

The recalled product is packaged in 2-pound plastic bags with “Best if used by” dates of 05/21/26 B10 and 06/23/2026 B1. The product was sold through distributors in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington State in the United States, and British Columbia in Canada.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled product should immediately discard it and contact the place of purchase for a full refund.
