When we're picking out our pet food brand, most of the time, we're picking out the food they're going to eat for the rest of their lives. We want to make good, healthy choices: the better the food we choose, the happier they'll be. For many, they want to go with raw food.
Right now, there's a massive recall and "stop sale" issued for one of the most popular raw cat food brands on the market: Go Raw L.L.C.'s Quest Cat Food. Specifically, there's a recall on the Frozen Raw Cat Food: Chicken Diet.
Back in February, GO Raw issued a voluntary recall for some of their freeze-dried products, but has now expanded the recall and included two lots of their Raw Cat Food: Chicken Diet. The affected lots (including the initially recalled product) are:
The products are being recalled due to having low levels of the essential thiamine (Vitamin B1). Affected bags of food were sold in retail stores across 21 states, and the bags are all the same: beige plastic with a zip-lock and a purple stripe. If you have a bag, you'll be able to find the lot information and best-by date on the front of the bag.
GO Raw L.L.C. has ordered a stop-sale of all Quest products while they investigate the issue further and address it. For now, consumers who purchased affected bags should return them to retailers for a refund or contact the company if they ordered from them directly.
