J.M. Smucker Company announced a voluntary recall on certain lots of 9Lives, EverPet, and Special Kitty canned cat food due to possible low levels of thiamine.



Thiamine
Cats fed diets low in thiamine for longer periods of time may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is very essential for cats.  Symptoms of deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be displayed by gastrointestinal or neurological in nature.  Early signs of thiamine deficiency can include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, and weight loss. In some advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which include ventroflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures. Customers are urged to contact their veterinarian immediately if their cat is displaying any of these symptoms. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
