Important Information Regarding Iams Canned Cat Food
As you may know, I work for P&G Pet Care in Consumer Relations. I’m writing this blog post to get some important information out to pet parents—particularly those who feed their cats Iams Canned Cat food.
Today we are announcing the voluntary recall of specific lots of Iams Canned Cat Foods in North America as a precautionary measure. Some of this product does not meet quality standards due to low levels of vitamin B1 (thiamine).
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a water soluble vitamin. It plays a role in a number of body functions including metabolism and energy, as well as supporting the nervous system. It is found in meats and vegetables and is also supplemented in pet foods to ensure a complete and balanced diet.
This recall is limited to only Iams Canned Cat Food. No other products are involved.
Health concerns would be limited primarily to cases where pet owners have been feeding their cat only canned, wet food.
More details can be found on the Iams web site here: http://media.iams.com/iams/en_US/data_root/html/recall_message.html
Any concerns should be directed to our Consumer Relations group at 877-340-8826.
