EL CAJON, Calif. — Savage Pet is recalling 66 large (84 oz.) and 74 small (21 oz.) boxes of its Chicken Cat Food, associated with the lot code/best by date of 11.15.2026, due to a potential contamination risk with the H5N1 avian influenza virus, also known as bird flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall on March 15, 2025.

The products were distributed to retailers across California, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington starting November 2024. The recall was initiated after reports emerged of two cats—one in Colorado and another in New York—contracting H5N1 after consuming the affected lot. The Colorado cat recovered, but the investigation into the New York case continues.

“People who fed their cats the recalled products should monitor for symptoms of bird flu,” an FDA notice stated. Symptoms in cats may include fever, lethargy, low appetite, inflamed eyes, nasal discharge, respiratory difficulties, and neurological signs like tremors or seizures. Cat owners should consult their veterinarians if their pets exhibit these symptoms.

The recall is a precautionary measure; no confirmed human infections have been reported from handling the affected cat food. However, the FDA warns that H5N1 can infect humans if the virus comes into contact with mucous membranes.

“Regular handwashing and sanitizing contact surfaces are essential when handling raw pet food products,” the FDA advised. Symptoms in humans to watch for include cough, sore throat, eye irritation, runny nose, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. If symptoms develop after handling the products, individuals are urged to seek medical attention.

In February 2025, following the report of a sick cat in Colorado, Colorado State University Laboratory conducted PCR testing on sealed packets of the same batch of cat food, revealing “non-negative” results for H5N1. Subsequently, the product was temporarily removed from the market pending further testing.

“To ensure maximum safety, we are modifying our market withdrawal to a recall,” Savage Pet stated on March 15, based on ongoing investigations and reports of additional cases.

In New York City, health officials confirmed that two cats tested positive for the H5 virus, with one cat dying after consuming the recalled product. A third cat, which did not consume the food but had contact with the infected cats, also displayed symptoms.

Customers who purchased the affected products are strongly encouraged to return them to their retailers for a full refund. The affected packaging consists of cardboard boxes containing individual plastic packets stamped with the lot code.

For further information, consumers can contact Savage Pet’s customer service at 619-270-0295.
