# **Major Recall Alert: Freeze Dried Chicken Recipe Cat and Dog Food Recalled Due to Low Levels of Thiamine (Vitamin B1)**
Pet parents, there's an important recall you should know about! Go Raw LLC has **expanded the voluntary recall of Steve’s Real Food Freeze Dried Chicken Recipe Cat and Dog Food**. This recall stems from the detection of **low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1)** in certain products.

## **Why This Recall is Important**
Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, is a crucial nutrient for healthy metabolism and neurological function in both cats and dogs. Unfortunately, cats are particularly vulnerable to thiamine deficiency because of their higher dietary need.

- Over time, more severe issues like **muscle weakness**, **vision changes**, **balance issues**, and **seizures** can arise.
- Left unaddressed, **thiamine deficiency can become life-threatening**.
The good news? Thiamine deficiency is typically reversible if detected early and treated with proper supplementation. However, catching it early is key, so knowing what to watch for is critical.
