This Cat Food Recall Affects 20 Different Kinds of Canned Food

Jan 6 2017 - 10:02am


Cat parents may want to take a close look at the canned food they're feeding their kitties tonight. The J.M. Smucker Company announced [1] a limited voluntary recall on Tuesday of 20 kinds of canned cat food, affecting popular brands like 9 Lives, EverPet, and Special Kitty. The products impacted by the recall were produced between Dec. 20, 2016, and Jan. 3, 2017, and the full list can be found below, complete with UTM codes. The J.M. Smucker Company is asking customers who purchased any of the products currently being recalled to call 1-800-828-9980 or email consumer.relations@jmsmucker.com.

The Food and Drug Administration described the recall [2] as both limited and voluntary, pointing to possible low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1) as the cause of concern. Cats fed a diet with a lack of thiamine can develop thiamine deficiencies, potentially leading to wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures, though most symptoms are usually reversible. That said, if you've noticed any of these symptoms in your cat, contact your vet [3] immediately!
