Today, October 20th, the FDA has put out an alert of a voluntary recall of certain Premium Edge Cat Foods by Diamond Pet Foods. The brands affected contain inadequate levels of thiamine, an essential vitamin for cats.
Affected brands are Premium Edge Finicky Adult cat food and Premium Edge Hairball cat food: RAF0501A22X 18lb., RAF0501A2X 6 lb., RAH0501A22X 18 lb., RAH0501A2X 6lb. The date of manufacture is May 28, 2009.
Thiamine deficiency affects cats neurologically. Such symptoms are wobbly walking, muscle weakness, paralysis of hindlimbs, seizures, ventroflexion (bending toward the floor) of the neck, and abnormal eye movement called nystagmus. For cats fed these date codes and displaying any of these symptoms immediately take them to a veterinarian. If your veterinarian diagnoses your cat as becoming ill from the affected cat food, please ask them to file a report with the FDA.
How to Report a Pet Food Complaint
No other neurological signs have been reported on any other product manufactures by Diamond Pet Foods. The FDA is working on the situation and will provide more information as it becomes available. To contact Premium Edge Pet Foods, please call 800-977-8797 between the hours of 8AM and 5PM central time, Monday through Friday.
