Summary

The J.M. Smucker Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 147,783 units of 9Lives Protein Plus wet canned cat food because it may contain low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1). The recall includes both 'Tuna & Chicken' and 'Tuna & Liver' varieties sold in 4-packs of 5.5 oz cans. This deficiency was discovered during internal quality testing, and consumers who purchased these products should return them to the store for a full refund.

Risk

Cats that eat a diet deficient in thiamine for several weeks may develop a thiamine deficiency, which can cause symptoms such as decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, and weight loss. In advanced cases, it can lead to severe neurological symptoms including head tilting, circling, falling, and seizures.
