Food and Drug Administration announced a voluntary recall of Northwest Naturals’ raw cat and dog food products because of potential salmonella and listeria contamination. The notice identified the specific recall as covering raw pet food, signaling a health risk to animals and, indirectly, to humans handling the feed. Subsequent reports expanded the scope, stating that nearly 2,000 pounds of the affected food were pulled from retailers nationwide. Coverage showed minor variations in the reported quantity.

Some sources used the rounded figure “2K pounds” (NewsNation), whereas others described the amount as “2,000 pounds” (New York Post) or “nearly 2,000 lbs.” (KGW). The difference stems from editorial style rather than a change in the underlying data, but readers receive slightly different numeric impressions across outlets. Medical Daily highlighted a secondary concern: the raw feed poses a human health risk, especially for households with small children, because handling contaminated pet food can transmit pathogens. The recall is characterized as voluntary by Northwest Naturals, as noted by Pet Age and Fox Business, and references two specific raw pet food products.

No indication of a broader product line was given. Consumers are urged to consult the FDA‑provided product list to identify affected items and to dispose of or return any recalled food.
