Wellpet Llc is recalling approximately 21,606,827 cans of various Wellness brand canned cat foods, including formulas such as Turkey & Salmon, Chicken, and Beef & Chicken in 3 oz., 5.5 oz., and 12.5 oz. sizes. The recall was initiated because the products were found to be subpotent for Thiamine (Vitamin B1), which is an essential nutrient for cats. The affected products were distributed nationwide and internationally to Hong Kong and Singapore between approximately February 2011 and July 2012. Owners should return any remaining cans to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Cats fed a diet deficient in Thiamine can develop serious health issues, including neurological symptoms such as decreased appetite, salivation, head tilting, and in advanced cases, seizures or loss of motor control. Without adequate Vitamin B1, a cat's metabolism cannot function correctly, which can be fatal if the deficiency is not corrected.
Full refund at the place of purchase.
