A Nationwide Voluntary Recall Has Been Issued for Five Varieties of the Rachael Ray Nutrish Wet Cat Food


Five varieties of Rachael Ray Nutrish wet cat food have been voluntarily recalled by manufacturer Ainsworth Pet Nutrition of Meadville, Pennsylvania.

The nationwide recall is due to an elevation in vitamin D levels, which is due to the natural levels of vitamin D found in some of the fish ingredients used in the cat food, according to a press release posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website.

While vitamin D helps cats regulate phosphorus and calcium, too much of it can be detrimental to their health, the press release states. Cats exposed to high levels of vitamin D may experience increased thirst and urination, diarrhea or vomiting and seizures or tremors. If your cat has ingested any of the products listed below, seek immediate veterinary assistance. Symptoms may occur 12 to 36 hours after ingestion.

The varieties that are being recalled are:

Single Packs:
PAW LICKIN CHICKEN AND LIVER (2.8 oz)

No other Rachael Ray Nutrish products are affected by this recall.

If you have purchased any Rachael Ray Nutrish product, check the package for the UPC code (found at the bottom of the cup) and the Best By date (found on the side of the cup).

Eleven illnesses have been reported to date, according to the press release.

“At Ainsworth Pet Nutrition and Rachael Ray Nutrish, the safety and quality of our products is our top priority,” CEO Jeff Watters said in a statement. “For the time being, we recommend disposing of any of the affected wet cat varieties.

Diamond Pet Foods Issues Cat Food Recall in 25 States



Diamond Pet Foods issues recall due to low levels of thiamine. Cats fed product long-term could be at risk for thiamine deficiency.

Select Diamond Pet Foods products may have low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1) prompting the voluntary recall of Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat Formula dry cat food, Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula dry cat food, Premium Edge Kitten Formula dry cat food, Diamond Naturals Kitten Formula dry cat food and 4health All Life Stages Cat Formula dry cat food. According to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) release, cats fed the recalled product exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency.

The following production codes have been recalled:
  • Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat Formula, 18-pound bags, distributed in Massachusetts with a “Best by” date of July 10, 2013, and production code NGF0703.
  • Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat Formula, six-pound bags, distributed in Florida, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, with “Best by” dates of Aug. 15, 2013, and Aug. 16, 2013, and production code NGF0802.
  • Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula, six-pound and 18-pound bags, distributed in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, with “Best by” dates of Jan. 3, 2014, and Jan. 4, 2014, and production code NGS0101.
  • Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula, six-pound and 18-pound bags, distributed in Florida, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, with a “Best by” date of July 10, 2013, and production code NGS0702.
  • Premium Edge Kitten Formula, six-ounce samples, six-pound and 18-pound bags, distributed in Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, with “Best by” dates of Sept. 26, 2013, Sept. 29, 2013, Sept. 30, 2013, Oct. 2, 2013, and production code MKT0901.
  • Diamond Naturals Kitten Formula, six-ounce sample and six-pound bags, distributed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, with a “Best by” date of Sept. 30, 2013, and production code MKT0901.
  • 4health All Life Stages Cat Formula, five-pound and 18-pound bags, distributed in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, with “Best by” dates of Aug. 14, 2013, and Aug. 18, 2013, and production code NGF0802.

At this time, there have been no complaints regarding thiamine levels, or any other health issues, related to these products. However, after tests conducted by the company indicated low levels of thiamine, the FDA says Diamond Pet Foods tested all other Diamond brands for thiamine deficiency to ensure product safety. No other product manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods is involved in this recall.
