Health officials were warning residents Wednesday not to feed their pets raw food following a voluntary recall of Northwest Naturals Brand 2lb Feline Turkey Recipe Raw & Frozen Pet Food due to detection of H5 bird flu virus in product samples.
According to the county Department of Public Health in LA, the recalled products are packaged 2-pound plastic bags with “Best if used by” dates of May 21, 2026, B10 and June 23, 2026, B1. Pet owners were urged to immediately dispose of those products.
Residents who fed their pets the recalled products or other raw meat or dairy products and notice their pet experiencing symptoms should immediately contact their veterinarian.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture confirmed that a house cat contracted H5 bird flu and died after consuming the recalled raw frozen pet food, officials said. The products are also sold in California.
A listing of retailers can be found on the product’s website at nw- naturals.net/12-24-24-voluntary-product-recall/.
Additionally, the DPH recently confirmed H5 bird blue in four house cats who consumed recalled milk and later became sick and died, officials said. That investigation is ongoing.
