Northwest Naturals pet food recalled over bird flu contamination after cat dies
Northwest Naturals voluntarily recalled a batch of raw frozen food after an indoor cat died of bird flu, Oregon officials said.
A voluntary recall was issued for a line of raw and frozen pet food after a cat died of bird flu, a case that Oregon officials connected to the feline's contaminated food.
Northwest Naturals told consumers Tuesday to toss their Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food if its sell-by date falls between May 21, 2026, and June 23, 2026. The company's website said the batch, which was sold across the United States, tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), more commonly known as bird flu.
Consumers can call 866-637-1872 for information on a refund.

State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz said the department was confident that the cat's bird flu was contracted from the Northwest Naturals food.
