NORTHWEST NATURALS

BEWARE AND EDUCATE

December 30, 2024

Hi Everyone,
First, I want to sincerely apologize for not personally reaching out to all distributors regarding the recall last week. The situation escalated unexpectedly starting Christmas Eve, with half of our team on vacation and out of state. I was trying to problem-solve, research, consult with colleagues, and respond to a flood of emails, all at the same time. For those people who chose to call, they quite possibly might still be on hold.
Overview
A cat that passed away after eating NWN Frozen Turkey 2 # was tested at Oregon State University, one of the few federally funded veterinary schools capable of testing for H5N1. The test results confirmed the death was caused by H5N1 Avian Influenza. The cat owner then provided the open NWN bag of food from their home, and the lab found that this Turkey food was a match for the deadly virus.
Many Questions Remain
Last week, the ODA visited our office to inform us of a presumptive positive test for H5N1 and we began pulling data requested by the ODA. The ODA subsequently informed us on December 24th that the test was confirmed, and we issued the recall the same day. Despite the fact that our QC Manager – who has 23 years’ experience working with USDA – expressed concerns about the accuracy of a test performed on an open bag of food (typically only sealed packages are eligible for accurate testing with the sample split between both parties), the ODA was confident the source was our food.
Since the single batch of affected turkey identified by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) was purchased and processed in May 2023, the facility that processes Northwest Naturals’ product has processed over 40 million pounds of product containing various types of protein, including over 1 million pounds of turkey. Prior to learning of the unfortunate death of the feline reported to us by the ODA and cited in various press stories, we had no indication or reports of any HPAI contamination associated with any of our products. The food contained in the two recalled lot codes was sold in August 2024. To date, we are unaware of any other verified case of HPAI allegedly associated with our products aside from the single case cited by the ODA.
Testing for H5N1 Occurs at Supplier Level, Manufacturers Like NWN Cannot Test for It
At NWN, we test for major pathogens like E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, but viral testing – including H5N1 – is done at the supplier level. Farmers are federally required to report sick or dead birds, and the USDA inspects flocks before they are processed. We rely on a letter of guarantee from the supplier confirming the turkey’s health.
Our High-Pressure Processing (HPP) process is known to eliminate major pathogens and viruses, including Avian Influenza. However, we cannot test for H5N1. We are still investigating how the H5N1 virus remained in the Turkey cat food after HPP. It is our understanding that the only facilities that currently test for HPAI are public health agencies and research institutions, and no commercial tests are available. If a pet food manufacturer tells you that they test for HPAI, we would encourage you to ask for documented proof of testing by either the supplier of raw material ingredients or the company that processed the pet food you purchased.
Worst Possible Timing
The recall occurred during a holiday, and it wasn’t until December 26th that we could start addressing the situation and assemble our team of experts. Both the public and retailers were understandably frustrated by the lack of information, as were we.
While we were able to announce a voluntary recall very quickly, there are many questions which we do not yet have answers to. The FAQs released on Friday offered some clarity, but there is much that you – and we – still do not know.
We are actively strategizing on how to move forward, with the goal of protecting both NWN and the larger raw pet food industry in general.
Thank you for your understanding, and I will continue to provide updates as we work through this.
Best regards,

Amy Snell
Director of Sales & Marketing
