Los Angeles County health officials are warning against feeding pets raw food after samples of bird flu viruses were discovered at a brand.

This came the day after officials reported the region’s first human case of bird flu – less than a week after declaring a nationwide state of emergency over the virus.

Northwest Naturals Brand 2 Pound Cat Turkey Recipe, Raw & Frozen Pet Food has been voluntarily recalled after samples of the virus were found in its products, according to authorities, who note that a pet cat in Oregon died as a result of eating the recalled raw frozen pet food.

All raw dairy, meat and poultry products can contain germs, including bird flu, health officials have warned. Consumption of raw milk and raw meat products should be avoided and the products should not be fed to pets, they added.

L.A. County health officials had previously warned against feeding cats raw milk after several became infected and died while consuming recalled raw milk.

The county Health Department said in a statement Monday that the human case of H5 bird flu was discovered in an adult who came into contact with farm animals infected with the virus at a construction site.

The unnamed adult had mild symptoms, was treated with antivirals and was recovering at home, according to authorities.

“The overall risk of H5 avian influenza to the public remains low,” health officials said.

According to the CDC, there are at least 65 confirmed human cases of bird flu nationwide, including at least 36 in California.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Dec. 18 when cases of bird flu were detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California. The virus was previously discovered in the state’s Central Valley.

“This proclamation is a targeted measure to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak,” Newsom said in a statement last week.

Symptoms of bird flu in humans include eye redness or discharge, fever, cough or difficulty breathing, sore throat, muscle or body aches, diarrhea and vomiting, according to health authorities.

People who work with infected animals, including cows, poultry or wildlife, remain at higher risk of exposure to the virus.

“Humans rarely get bird flu, but those who interact with infected livestock or wild animals are at higher risk of infection. This case reminds us to take basic precautions to prevent infection,” LA County Health Officer Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, said in the statement Monday.

“People should avoid unprotected contact with sick or dead animals such as cows, poultry and wild birds; avoid consuming raw or undercooked animal products such as raw milk; and protect pets and backyard poultry from contact with wildlife,” Davis added.

The health official also recommended getting vaccinated against seasonal influenza, “which can help prevent severe seasonal influenza illness and reduce the risk of co-infection with seasonal influenza and avian influenza if exposed.”
