"We are confident that this cat contracted H5N1 by eating the Northwest Naturals raw and frozen pet food," said ODA State Veterinarian Ryan Scholz in a statement.
"Tests confirmed a genetic match between the virus in the raw and frozen pet food and the infected cat," the statement added.
The recalled product is packaged in 2-pound plastic bags with 'Best if used by' dates of May 21, 2026 and June 23, 2026.
Public health officials are monitoring household members who had contact with the dead cat, but the ODA said no human cases of HPAI had so far been linked to this incident.
