Low thiamine cat food recall expanded; issues stop sale order

All Quest pet food products put on hold as Go Raw expands cat food recall for low thiamine levels

JACKSONVILLE, Fl — Go Raw LLC is expanding its February 17, 2026, voluntary recall of a freeze-dried product to add two lots of select Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe frozen products due to potentially low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1).

The two lots of Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Frozen (MCD25350 BB 5/17/2027 and MCC25321 BB 6/16/2027) are sold in beige, zip-lock, 2lb packages and distributed nationwide. The company has also decided to stop the sale of all Quest products at all retailers until the issue of thiamine content in the products is addressed.

Cats fed diets low in thiamine over time may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential 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.

Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these symptoms. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.

The company has already issued a recall of:

  • Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried - 10oz Bags
  • Lot #C25288 – Best Buy Date: 10/15/2027

The recall is now being expanded to include the following additional lots:

In early February, the company became aware of low thiamine levels in the Quest Chicken Diet. Upon discovery, an immediate and comprehensive investigation was launched, including a review of formulation specifications, raw ingredient suppliers, and processing procedures.

Retailers have been instructed to remove affected products from shelves immediately. All existing inventory is being replaced with the newly formulated product.
