An update to .pdx recall, thank you for your diligence in handling the situation seriously for all the fur babies!
Below is the statement from their website:
Dear Customer,
We are writing to update you on the status of the voluntary recall we initiated in December 2024 on a limited production of Feline Turkey Recipe sold frozen in 2lb packages.
Our voluntary recall was instituted on December 24, 2024, following a report from the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) that it had found H5N1 present in an opened bag of product. We were devastated to hear of the death of the cat that began the ODA’s investigation, and our hearts go out to the cat’s owner. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of our customers’ pets, we issued the voluntary recall and kept it open while regulatory agencies investigated the H5N1 contamination allegedly associated with the opened bag of our product.
We subsequently worked openly and transparently with ODA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who conducted a complete audit of our co-manufacturer’s facility. The FDA audit started in late December 2024 and concluded on February 7, 2025, when we met with representatives from FDA and ODA to review the audit’s findings.
The FDA’s audit did not contain any findings related to H5N1 or Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), and the FDA did not identify the source of the alleged contamination found in the opened bag of our product. Additionally, our product was never included in the FDA’s list of Recalls & Withdrawals, which can be found at https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals. Upon the completion of FDA’s audit, we updated the status of our voluntary recall with ODA to “closed” and the recall has since been terminated.
We are deeply grateful for and appreciate the patience and support that you, your customers, and our partners have shown us during this process.
