Raw Cat Food Recalled Over Bird Flu Contamination Risk

Wild Coast Raw's chicken formula for cats is being pulled from shelves after testing linked it to H5N1 infections in pets.

  • The FDA announced a voluntary recall of Wild Coast Raw's frozen Boneless Free Range Chicken Formula due to potential bird flu contamination.
  • Recalled products include lot numbers #22660, #22653, #22641, #22639, #22672, and #22664, all with a Best By date of December 2025.
  • Testing in Washington and Oregon confirmed the same H5N1 strain in infected cats and the recalled pet food, with one cat euthanized and another treated by a veterinarian.
  • Pet owners are advised to discard the product securely, monitor their pets for symptoms like lethargy, respiratory issues, or neurological signs, and contact a veterinarian if these occur.
  • While no human infections have been reported, the FDA warns handlers to sanitize surfaces and watch for symptoms such as eye irritation, respiratory issues, or fever.
