Pet food recalled over salmonella, listeria risks

Nearly 2,000 pounds of raw dog and cat food were recalled nationwide after the FDA announced a voluntary recall by Northwest Naturals, according to Live 5 News and FOX 8 News. The agency’s notice described the products as raw pet food items that could carry salmonella and listeria. Live 5 News reported the recall as a nationwide action, while FOX 8 News emphasized the potential public health implications for pets.

Pet Age detailed that the recall targets specific Northwest Naturals formulas, citing the FDA’s statement that the contamination was detected during routine testing. Both outlets highlighted that the recall applies to raw pet food sold across multiple states, and that the FDA has not reported any confirmed illnesses in animals linked to the batch. No other outlet contradicted this view, and none provided evidence of a broader or narrower scope.

The FDA has not issued further instructions beyond the voluntary recall, and the agency’s website still lists the recall as active. Pet owners are advised to check the FDA’s recall page for the latest product identifiers.
