We are writing to inform you of the recall of Northwest Naturals brand 2lb Feline Turkey Recipe raw & frozen pet food, following the confirmation of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in a domestic cat on December 24, 2024. This cat, an indoor-only pet from Washington County, Oregon, died after consuming this raw pet food. PCR testing and whole genome sequencing confirmed the cat’s infection was linked to frozen raw cat food.

We strongly recommend that veterinary clinics and pet stores display recall information for clients and educate pet owners about the recall. Raw pet food may expose pets, and indirectly humans, to harmful pathogens, including HPAI, Salmonella, and E. coli. These pathogens pose risks to both animal and human health, particularly in homes with immunocompromised individuals.
