Go Raw freeze-dried pet food recalled over vitamin deficiency risk
Go Raw has expanded a voluntary recall of its freeze-dried dog and cat food because the products may contain insufficient levels of an essential vitamin. News reports describe the deficiency as low Vitamin B1 (thiamine) in some outlets and vitamin D in others; both can lead to serious health problems. The recall covers multiple lots sold across about 20 U.S. states, and some reports indicate more than 400,000 pounds of pet food have been pulled. Because the deficiency may trigger neurological symptoms, pet owners are urged to stop feeding the affected food right away and to watch for signs such as weakness, tremors, or behavior changes. Checking lot numbers against the official FDA or company recall notice and contacting a veterinarian if symptoms appear are the safest next steps.
