ORRVILLE, Ohio — Check those cans of cat food. Orrville-based J.M. Smucker Company is voluntarily recalling certain lots of 9Lives, EverPet and Special Kitty due to possible low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1).
The FDA posted details of the recall from the company on its website.
**Check out the affected products in a list, below**
There have been no illnesses related to this issue; the recall is out of an abundance of caution.
The press release states cats fed diets low in thiamine, which is essential for the animals, may be at risk of developing a thiamine deficiency.
They say symptoms of deficiency include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which include ventroflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these symptoms.
A limited number of retailers received the affected products from December 20, 2016 through January 3, 2017.
If you have cans of cat food from the impacted lots, you’re asked to stop feeding it to your cat and call the company at 1-800-828-9980 Monday through Friday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST or contact them at consumer.relations@jmsmucker.com.
