Another cat food brand has recalled some of its products due to a possible bird flu contamination, health regulators warned over the weekend.
Savage Pet has recalled 66 of its large (84 oz.) chicken boxes and 74 of its small (21 oz.) chicken boxes for cats due to the potential to contain the H5N1 influenza/, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
At least one cat in Colorado and another in New York became sick after consuming one of the boxes. Though the Colorado case, in which the cat later recovered, tested negative for the virus, testing is still underway for the New York case.
In November, the San Diego County-based brand distributed the boxes across retailers in California, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, the recall posted Saturday states. The recalled products list an expiration date of Nov. 15, 2026 (11152026).
Savage Pet joins a wave of recalls prompted by the ongoing bird flu outbreak, which has ravaged flocks globally and causing a U.S. egg shortage that has fueled higher food prices. Here’s what to know.
At least four pet food brands have recalled some of its products due to possible risk of bird flu, including Savage Pet, Wild Coast Raw, Northwest Naturals and Morach Raw Pet Wood.
