What changed

Go Raw LLC has expanded its voluntary recall of Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe products to include two additional lots of frozen cat food due to potentially low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1). The company has also decided to cease sales of all Quest products until the thiamine content issue is addressed. This action follows an initial recall of freeze-dried products for the same reason. Cats fed diets low in thiamine over time are at risk for deficiency, which can manifest in gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms.

Consumers who have purchased the affected frozen products should stop feeding them to their pets and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement. Retailers have been instructed to remove affected products from shelves. Replacement inventory is expected to be available around mid-March. Consumers with questions can contact Go Raw LLC directly. The company emphasizes its commitment to pet safety and nutritional standards.

Company Announcement

Cottonwood Heights, Utah (February 26, 2026) Go Raw LLC is expanding its February 17, 2026, voluntary recall of a freeze-dried product to add two lots of select Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe frozen products due to potentially low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1).

The two lots of Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Frozen (MCD25350 BB 5/17/2027 and MCC25321 BB 6/16/2027) are sold in beige, zip-lock, 2lb packages and distributed nationwide. The company has also decided to stop the sale of all Quest products at all retailers until the issue of thiamine content in the products is addressed.

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 include gastrointestinal or neurological signs. 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 company has already issued a recall of:

In early February, the company became aware of low thiamine levels in the Quest Chicken Diet. Upon discovery, an immediate and comprehensive investigation was launched, including a review of formulation specifications, raw ingredient suppliers, and processing procedures.

Retailers have been instructed to remove affected products from shelves immediately. All existing inventory is being replaced with the newly formulated product.

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 or a replacement product.

Replacement inventory is expected to begin reaching distribution channels around the middle of March. Additional updates will be provided as the product becomes available.

“We take the safety and well-being of pets extremely seriously,” said Shantel Goodrich, LVT, VP of Operations. “Rather than risk any potential concern, we made the decision to remove the affected product from the market and replace it with products we are confident meet our nutritional standards.”
