A cat was euthanized after contracting avian influenza from contaminated RAWR raw pet food (voluntary recall issued).
Another raw food brand linked to E. coli infection in a dog and a child, leading to hemolytic uremic syndrome.
FDA Recall Alerts Available
Pet owners can sign up for FDA email alerts to track recalls of pet food, treats, and veterinary products.
CDC Leadership Shakeup
CDC Director dismissed after refusing to "rubber stamp" unscientific directives.
Four additional senior leaders resigned, raising concern over the integrity of U.S. public health guidance.
West Coast Health Alliance Formed
California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii announced the West Coast Health Alliance, pledging to ground vaccine and health policy decisions in evidence-based science.
Small Legal Win for Science (Scratching the Itch)
