The recalled product carries “best if used by” dates of May 21, 2026 (also look for “B10”) and June 23, 2026 (also look for “B1”).
The product was distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington in the United States, and British Columbia in Canada. The product may have also been distributed in New Mexico, as several retail locations throughout the state carry Northwest Naturals products, according to the New Mexico Department of Agriculture.
Officials said a domestic cat in Washington County, Oregon died after consuming the raw frozen pet food. Testing confirmed the presence of HPAI in both the pet food and the cat.
To date, there have been no reports of HPAI in domestic cats in New Mexico.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled product should immediately discontinue feeding the product. If your pet shows any signs of illness, contact your veterinarian.
