Massive Recall Of Cat Food Underway
Multiple cat food companies have voluntarily recalled dozens of their products over concerns the pets could get sick from eating them. Certain cans of cat fold from 9Lives, EverPet and Special Kitty did not have the proper amount of thiamine, which is also known as Vitamin B1, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which announced the recall Tuesday.

The products affected were all distributed for retail between Dec. 20 and Tuesday. A full list of the canned cat food recalled follows below:

9Lives

Meaty Pate Chicken and Tuna 13 oz.

Meaty Pate Seafood Platter 5.5 oz.

Meaty Pate Seafood Platter, 4 pack of 5.5 oz. cans

Meaty Pate Super Supper 5.5 oz.

Meaty Pate Super Supper, 4 pack of 5.5 oz. cans

Meaty Pate Super Supper 13 oz.

Meaty Pate with Chicken and Seafood, 4 pack of 5.5 oz. cans

Meaty Pate with Chicken and Tuna 5.5 oz.

Meaty Pate with Chicken Dinner 5.5 oz.

Meaty Pate with Liver and Chicken, 4 pack of 5.5 oz. cans

Meaty Pate with Ocean Whitefish 5.5 oz.

Seafood Poultry Variety Pack 5.5 oz.

Meaty Pate with Chicken & Tuna, 4 pack of 5.5 oz. cans

EverPet

Mixed Grill Dinner 13 oz.

Special Kitty

Beef and Liver Dinner 13 oz.

Classic Tuna Dinner 13 oz.

Mixed Grill Dinner with printed wrap, 12 pack of 13 oz. cans

Mixed Grill Dinner without printed wrap 13 oz.

Super Supper 13 oz.

As of Wednesday morning, there was no information about parent company J.M. Smucker offering any refunds for the potentially affected cat food. Instead, the company instructed customers who purchased any of the above products to stop feeding their cats the food and to call 1-800-828-9980 or email consumer.relations@jmsmucker.com.

Low levels of thiamine could result in a cat having symptoms ranging from a lack of an appetite to seizures. While thiamine deficiency can be serious for cats, it can be treated if detected early.

A separate recall of cat food was issued in June when products from the Rad Cat Raw Diet may have been contaminated with either Salmonella or Listeria, or both, the FDA announced at the time.

@mystery-ak  and mods, if this is the wrong category (no pun intended), please put it in the correct category.

I just want to make sure all our cat owners see this ASAP.

OMG! My cats aren't going to get Vitamin B now!

Only one think to do. I am going to have to put them down so they do not suffer. It is the only humane thing to do.

Thanks - I'm sure all cat owners appreciate the public service.

Our own little princess turns her nose up at anything other than Fancy Feast, and even then, she'll only eat the "Cod, Shrimp and Sole" variety, and looks at us sideways if we come home with something else. And sometimes we do, because among the approximately 475 varieties of the brand, the one she loves is the one that's always sold out. My wife swears they put some kind of kitty "crack" in it, and I'm not sure she's wrong. 

And have you ever noticed how every supermarket you shop at has at most 5 different brands of dog food from which to choose, and that's perfectly sufficient because your dog will happily eat any one you decide to bring home?  By comparison, the cat food aisle looks like the wine cellar at Le Cirque.

I'm sure the birds and rodents our furball kills and partially eats will make up for that lack of B-1 in the canned treats he so loves. He will go to either the box or the fridge to demand I get a can to feed him every time I go to serve him a meal, protesting bitterly at the kibble I usually give him......

When Dear Leader Trump takes office, our seniors will no longer have to eat canned cat food on stale matzo crackers.

Thank you, Freya.  My cat is getting finicky in his old age and lately, it seems all he wants to eat is 9 Lives.  Oh, well.  He's just going to have to eat Sheba, Beyond or something else, otherwise, no wet food for him.

I don't own my cat.   He owns me.
