What is Bird Flu? Bird Flu, also known as Avian Influenza, is a viral infection that primarily affects birds. However, in some cases, it can be transmitted to other animals, including cats.
What is the Recall? The recall affects all products of the company, including dry food, canned food, and treats. The FDA has identified a potential risk of avian influenza, also known as bird flu, in the cat food. This risk is due to the presence of a specific type of protein in the food that can be contaminated with the virus.How Did the Recall Happen? The recall was initiated after a routine inspection by the FDA found that the company’s manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania had not followed proper sanitation and cleaning procedures. The inspection revealed that the facility had not been properly cleaned and sanitized between batches of cat food, which allowed the virus to potentially contaminate the food. • The FDA has stated that the risk of avian influenza in cats is low, but the agency is taking steps to ensure public health and safety. • The recall is not limited to a specific product or batch, but rather affects all products of the company.What Should You Do? If you have purchased any of the affected products, you should stop feeding them to your cat immediately. The FDA recommends that you discard the food and contact the company for a full refund. • Do not attempt to feed your cat the recalled food, as it may pose a health risk. • If you are unsure about the safety of your cat’s food, contact the company or the FDA for guidance.What Can You Do to Protect Your Cat?
