Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Buffalo Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,070 cases of Blue Kitty Yums Tasty Chicken Recipe cat treats because they contain propylene glycol. The presence of this substance in cat food is prohibited by FDA regulations because it can cause a specific type of red blood cell damage in cats. These treats were sold in individual packages with 'Best If Used By' dates of April 24, 2016 and July 24, 2016. Consumers should stop using these treats and return them for a full refund.

Risk

Propylene glycol can cause Heinz body formation in a cat's red blood cells, which may lead to anemia and other serious health complications. This chemical is specifically prohibited for use in cat food due to the unique sensitivity cats have to this substance.
