Cottonwood Heights, Utah (February 17, 2026) Go Raw LLC is voluntarily recalling a single lot of Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried Nuggets, 10oz bag, lot code C25288, Best Buy Date 10/15/2027, because it may contain low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1).
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 be gastrointestinal or neurological. 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 recalled product was distributed nationwide through retail stores in the following states: CO, UT, WA, OR, PA, RI, MI, CA, TX, and IL.
The recalled product is sold in zip-lock beige, 10 oz. Packages with a purple stripe, UPC 6-91730-18103-1, and printed Lot code and Best By Date can be found on the front of the bag. Please note this product is Freeze-Dried.
To date, the company has received one confirmed report of illness associated with the recalled product. The affected cat was treated by a veterinarian and has recovered. This recall is limited to a single lot of Quest Cat Food Chicken Freeze-Dried Nuggets 10 oz bag, Lot Code C25288, Best By Date 10/15/27.
This recall was initiated after the company received a report of illness potentially
associated with the product. Product from the affected lot was submitted for testing by the treating veterinarian, and results indicated thiamine (B1) levels below the required amounts for a feline diet. The company conducted additional testing and determined that the lot may not meet thiamine requirements. The company has already implemented corrective actions to prevent this issue from recurring.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who have purchased the affected product should stop feeding it and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Go Raw LLC directly at cs@gorawllc.com. 801-432-7478 (M-F 9 am-4 pm Mtn time).
This recall notice was provided to TAPF by the manufacturer.

This product is made by Steve’s Real Food, yet I don’t see their name mentioned anywhere in this press release. If Go Raw is doing business as Steve’s Real Food, shouldn’t it say so? I find this press release to be misleading to consumers due to this glaring omission.

This is the release provided by the company (as well as provided to FDA). I don’t think it is misleading as they are different brands (Steve’s and Quest).

Bethany…I agree with you. I feed my two kittens Quest Raw cat food. The bottom of the bag states “Made by Steve’s Real Food Aumsville Or. product of the USA Now maybe freezed dried goes to a different company to process. I only buy Raw foods for my pets. Maybe thats why this product was not up to code. Again buyer be aware.

Freeze drying does not destroy Vit B1, in fact it preserves vitamins that are otherwise destroyed by heat. What’s that tell you? And a 10-20# cat only needs about 3-6g of chick liver per day for Vit B1. Website doesn’t show ingredient label. ??

Both Steve’s and Quest websites show ingredients under “nutritional facts”, you can then chose between tabs for calories, vitamins and minerals. They show B1 at 9.47 mg/kg.

The FDA issued an advisory today (3/13/26) because certain lots of Quest Cat Food pose serious health risks due to extremely low or NO thiamine (vitamin B1), a vitamin essential to cat health. The FDA recommended that Steve’s Real Food recall eight product lots. To date, the firm has only recalled three lots. Unlike the company’s initial voluntary press releases, which concealed the fact that they (Go Raw LLC) are doing business as Steve’s Real Food, the FDA rightly mentioned the trade name. I would be extremely reluctant to buy Steve’s Real Food in the future not only because of this recall but due to their lack of transparency (integrity).
