Northwest Naturals, a Portland-based pet food company, issued a nationwide recall after a house cat in Oregon died after eating one of its products, according to a press release.
The company, which is owned by Morasch Meats, announced the recall on Tuesday, Dec. 24, after a batch of its 2-pound Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food tested positive for H591 bird flu, a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus.
Per the company’s official statement: “Consumption of raw or uncooked pet food contaminated with HPAI can cause illness in animals. To date, one case of illness in a domestic cat has been reported in connection with this issue.”
According to the statement, the recall applies to products with “best if used by” dates between May 21, 2026, and June 23, 2026. If you have purchased the recalled product, Northwest Natural strongly advises you to immediately discard it and contact the place of purchase for a full refund.
