If you have a beloved furbaby, check which brands are recalled at the FDA website:

Popular brands like 9Lives, and Walmart's Special Kitty canned cat food are listed due to possible low levels of thiamine. Cats need thiamine and diets low in thiamine could make them at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency which can cause gastrointestinal or neurological problems. The affected product was distributed to a number of retail customers from Dec. 20 through Jan. 3, so they may still be on the shelf, or show up in discount stores.
