Summary
- One lot of Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe is recalled for low thiamine.
- Low thiamine can cause gastrointestinal and neurological issues in cats.
- The affected product was sold in 10 states; one cat illness reported.
Go Raw LLC has initiated a voluntary recall for a specific lot of Quest brand Cat Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried Nuggets. The recall is due to concerns that the product may contain insufficient levels of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1.
