The U.S. FDA has reported that bird flu has sickened or killed over a dozen cats linked to raw food products. Confirmed cases span across eight households in states including California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. An investigation is underway to determine how the virus entered the pet food supply. Although the prevalence of raw pet food is minor in the overall pet food market, its rapid growth raises concerns about potential health risks to pets.
"Affected flocks that are depopulated as part of USDA's efforts to control H5N1 are not permitted in any food product at all."
"The FDA is aware of reports of death or illness associated with uncooked food in 13 domestic cats in eight households, 1 exotic cat in one household."
