Is Rebel Raw safe during the Avian Flu outbreak?
Updated this week

Yes! Rebel Raw remains safe for your pets, even amidst avian flu concerns. Here’s why:

  • Rigorous Testing: All of our chicken and turkey suppliers test 100% of their flocks for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) before processing. No infected birds enter the food supply.

  • Strict Biosecurity: Our suppliers adhere to the highest biosecurity standards to prevent any contamination.

  • Supplier Guarantees: Our suppliers guarantee the safety of their products and confirm they are HPAI-free.

  • Government Assurance: The Georgia Department of Agriculture and USDA confirm that poultry products are safe to consume and have rigorous inspection standards to ensure food safety.

We know how much you love your cats and dogs—we feel the same about ours. We confidently feed raw meals to our own five cats and dog, as well as to our team’s pets, every day.

If you have concerns, you can gently cook your pet’s meals to an internal temperature of 165°F to kill any bacteria or viruses. Follow these steps:

Sous Vide Method:

  • Place food in a vacuum-sealed bag.

  • Heat a water bath to 165°F using a sous vide precision cooker.

  • Submerge the bag completely and cook for 45-60 minutes.

  • Cool before serving.

Skillet Method:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.

  • Cook the food until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  • Cool before serving.

Baking Method:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  • Spread the food evenly on a baking tray.

  • Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  • Cool before serving.
