Go Raw LLC has announced a voluntary recall of one lot of its Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried Nuggets due to low levels of thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. The recall affects the 10-ounce bag with lot code #C25288 and a Best By Date of October 15, 2027.
The company stated that "cats fed diets low in thiamine over time may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential for cats." Early symptoms in affected cats can include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, failure to grow, and weight loss. More advanced cases may show neurological signs such as ventroflexion of the neck, mental dullness, vision changes, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures.
"Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these symptoms. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible," Go Raw LLC advised.
The recalled product was distributed nationwide through retail stores in Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Michigan, California, Texas, and Illinois. It is sold in zip-lock beige 10-ounce packages with a purple stripe. The UPC number is 6-91730-18103-1; both the lot code and Best By Date are printed on the front of the bag.
To date there has been one confirmed report of illness linked to this product. The company reported that "the affected cat was treated by a veterinarian and has recovered." This recall applies only to Lot Code C25288 with Best By Date 10/15/27.
According to Go Raw LLC: "This recall was initiated after the company received a report of illness potentially associated with the product. Product from the affected lot was submitted for testing by the treating veterinarian, and results indicated thiamine (B1) levels below the required amounts for a feline diet. The company conducted additional testing and determined that the lot may not meet thiamine requirements. The company has already implemented corrective actions to prevent this issue from recurring."
Consumers who have purchased this specific product should stop feeding it to their cats and return it to where they bought it for a full refund.
