CINCINNATI (WKRC) – A pet food recall was expanded by the Food and Drug Administration to include more products and more states, including Ohio.
The Food and Drug Administration announced on February 26 that Go Raw LLC was expanding its cat food recall after it learned that other products may also be affected. The first recall was initiated on February 17 after the company learned that multiple cat food products may contain low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1), which is an essential nutrient for cats.
"Symptoms of deficiency in an affected cat can include gastrointestinal or neurological signs. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, failure to grow, and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs may develop, including ventroflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, mental dullness, vision changes, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures."
Customers who purchased the affected products were advised to stop feeding it to their cats and to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
