Multiple pathogens found in raw cat foods

Salmonella, cronobacter, pseudomonas, klebsiella, clostridium and E. coli were found in raw and partially cooked foods for cats, and some strains were antibiotic-resistant, presenting risks for cats and cat owners, researchers reported in Communications Biology. Pathogens were found in frozen, freeze-dried and refrigerated products; most had no warnings on their labels; and some salmonella strains genetically matched those associated with human salmonellosis cases. Moreover, DNA analyses found differences between actual and listed ingredients in some products.

A recent study published in Nature found harmful, antibiotic-resistant pathogens like Salmonella, Cronobacter, and E. coli in commercial raw cat foods, posing health risks to pets and humans, especially vulnerable groups. Many products lack warnings about the dangers of undercooked ingredients, according to author and researcher Dr. Laura Goodman, Ph.D. ’07, assistant professor in the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health and in The Baker Institute for Animal Health in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
