J M Smucker Co is recalling 19,154 units of various 9Lives, Special Kitty, and EverPet canned cat foods due to potentially low levels of Thiamine (Vitamin B1). This deficiency occurred because an incorrect vitamin mix was used during production. The affected products were distributed to retailers in 30 states and Puerto Rico between January and May 2017. Owners of cats who have consumed these specific lots should monitor their pets for symptoms like decreased appetite, salivation, or neurological issues, and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Cats fed exclusively on food with low Thiamine levels can develop a life-threatening deficiency, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, wobbly movements, circling, and seizures. If not addressed, this condition can lead to permanent neurological damage or death in feline pets.
Full refund upon return.
