Northwest Naturals Recalls Raw Pet Food Over Salmonella, Listeria Risk

Northwest Naturals, a Portland, Oregon-based company, has issued a voluntary recall of nearly 2,000 pounds of its frozen raw pet food after federal testing confirmed the presence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The recall, announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, covers two chicken-based products distributed to retail stores nationwide and carries a warning about potential health risks to both pets and humans.

The recall encompasses 53 cases, or 1,272 pounds, of Northwest Naturals Frozen Chicken Recipe, a two-pound bag marketed as cat food and a protein topper for dogs. This product, under lot number B5 with a best-by date of January 26, 2028, tested positive for Salmonella. The second product is 19 cases, or 684 pounds, of Northwest Naturals Frozen Raw Diet for Dogs Chicken Recipe.
