Approximately 7,226 units of various cat and kitten food products from brands including Premium Edge, Diamond Naturals, 4health, and Nutra Gold are being recalled because they may contain insufficient levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1). The recall includes various sizes ranging from 6 oz. samples to 18 lb. bags, primarily manufactured in Meta, Missouri. These products were distributed through retail stores and online channels across 18 U.S. states and several international countries. Owners should check their packaging for specific production codes and 'Best By' dates ranging from July 2013 to September 2014 to see if their pet food is affected.
Cats fed a diet deficient in thiamine for several weeks may develop gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms, including decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, weight loss, and in advanced cases, ventriflexion (bending of the neck towards the chest), wobbly walking, circling, or seizures.
