Fox News
A pet food company has issued a recall of some raw cat food due to potential contamination with H5N1, also known as bird flu. Here's what to know about the recalled products.
The Savage Cat food products were distributed to retailers in five states: California, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, the FDA's website says. "People who handled the recalled products should watch for symptoms of bird flu." Previous studies have suggested that H5N1 could be transmitted among cats.
