NATIONWIDE -- FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF A HOUSECAT WHO ATE FOOD TAINTED WITH BIRD FLU, an Oregon pet food company has recalled one of its products, CNN reported on Wednesday, Dec. 25. Northwest Naturals, owned by Morasch Meats, announced the recall Tuesday for one batch of its 2-pound Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food after the product tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, also known as H5N1 bird flu, according to a news release. The batch with the virus was sold across the United States through distributors in several states, including on the East Coast. Testing confirmed a genetic match between the infected animal and the virus found in the raw frozen pet food, the department said. The recall applies to products with "best if used by" dates between May 21, 2026, and June 23, 2026, according to Northwest Naturals, which advises pet owners who bought the recalled product to discard it immediately and contact the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
