The J.M. Smucker Company announced a limited voluntary recall of 20 kinds of canned cat food, affecting popular brands like 9 Lives, EverPet, and Special Kitty.
The products impacted by the recall were produced between Dec. 20, 2016, and Jan. 3, 2017, and the full list can be found below, complete with UTM codes.
The Food and Drug Administration described the recall as both limited and voluntary, pointing to possible low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1) as the cause of concern.
Cats fed a diet with a lack of thiamine can develop thiamine deficiencies, potentially leading to wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures, though most symptoms are usually reversible.
That said, if you've noticed any of these symptoms in your cat, contact your vet immediately!
The J.M. Smucker Company is asking customers who purchased any of the products currently being recalled to call 1-800-828-9980 or email consumer.relations@jmsmucker.com.
