Dietary Recall
On June 9, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Proctor and Gamble Company (P&G) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Iams canned cat food. According to the FDA, the Proctor and Gamble recall only involves specific lots, North American markets and the Iams cat food recall is a precautionary measure. The cat food recall is due to low levels of thiamine, an essential vitamin for cats. There have been no reports of problems in cats due to low levels of thiamine before the Proctor and Gamble recall.
The Iams cat food recall follows a Diamond Pet Foods voluntary cat food recall in October, 2009. The cat food recall issued by Diamond Pet Foods was due to lack of thiamine (vitamin B1). According to the ASPCA article, “Diamond Pet Foods Announces Cat Food Recall” dated October 12, 2009, “Thiamine supports the Central Nervous System, and a deficiency can lead to neurological problems ranging from mild loss of balance to life threatening seizures."
Iams Cat Food Recall for Cat and Kitten Food
According to the FDA press release, the Iams cat food recall was issued, “after diagnostic testing indicated that the product may contain insufficient levels of thiamine (vitamin B1), which is essential for cats.” The FDA press release states that cats that were fed only the canned food are at greater risk of developing signs of thiamine deficiency.
