Pet Food Recalls Due to Bird Flu Contamination Linked to Cat Deaths
A series of pet food recalls has been issued following the death of a house cat in Oregon, which tested positive for bird flu after consuming raw frozen pet food. The contaminated products, particularly from the Northwest Naturals brand, have prompted warnings from health officials across several states, including Michigan and Minnesota. The outbreak has raised concerns about the safety of feeding pets raw food, as authorities investigate potential links between avian flu and pet food contamination. Consumers are advised to check for affected products and monitor their pets for any symptoms related to the virus. The recalls have impacted a total of 12 states, leading to heightened awareness and caution among pet owners.
