FYI - “The advisory involves frozen and freeze-dried Quest Cat Food products marketed by Go Raw LLC doing business as (dba) Steve’s Real Food. The FDA said the affected products are distributed nationwide, and that testing confirmed all 8 lots contained thiamine levels far below the Association of American Feed Control Officials’ minimum cat food nutrient profile standard of 5.6 mg/kg.
Clinical signs of thiamine deficiency in cats can begin with gastrointestinal abnormalities, such as decreased appetite and vomiting, but the condition can progress to neurologic signs, including ventroflexion, weakness, ataxia, circling, and seizures. The FDA said some cats may develop signs within a week, whereas others may not become symptomatic for months. “
