orywireGo Raw LLC has expanded a recall to include one lot of Steve’s Real Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried pet food because it may contain low thiamine. Pet owners should check the lot code, stop feeding affected bags and contact a veterinarian if pets show concerning symptoms.
Steve’s Real Food has been added to a Go Raw LLC recall for one lot of freeze-dried chicken recipe pet food because it may contain low levels of thiamine, or vitamin B1. Pet owners should stop feeding the affected lot and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement, according to the FDA-posted company notice.
The recall covers one Steve’s Real Food product lot:
The notice describes the package as a beige zip-locked bag with a maroon stripe. The lot code and best-by date are printed on the front of the bag, and the notice says the product is freeze-dried.
The FDA-posted notice contains a UPC inconsistency: its product table lists 6-91730-164 02-7, while a later package-description sentence lists 6-91730-18103-1. Owners should use the product name, lot code C26022 and best-by date to identify the affected bag, and contact Go Raw if the UPC on the package raises questions.
Go Raw LLC said it expanded a February recall to include this Steve’s Real Food lot because of potentially low thiamine. Thiamine is needed for normal carbohydrate metabolism and neurologic function in cats and dogs.
Cats are considered more susceptible to thiamine deficiency because they have a higher dietary requirement and less ability to compensate for inadequate intake, the notice said. The company said all current Steve’s Real Food products are being manufactured with updated formulations that include a new vitamin premix.
Pets eating a thiamine-deficient diet over time may develop signs of deficiency. Early signs can include decreased appetite, vomiting, excessive salivation, weight loss or poor growth.
More advanced signs can include the head bending toward the floor, mental dullness, vision changes, wobbly walking, circling, falling and seizures. In severe or prolonged cases, thiamine deficiency may lead to profound weakness and lethargy and can be life-threatening without intervention, according to the notice.
Pet owners should contact a veterinarian if they see concerning clinical signs. The FDA-posted notice says thiamine deficiency is generally reversible when recognized early and treated appropriately.
Do not feed the affected lot to cats or dogs. The company said consumers who purchased the recalled product should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
Owners with questions can contact Go Raw LLC at cs@gorawllc.com or 801-432-7478. The company listed phone hours as 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. MST, Monday through Friday.
Fry Pie Factory recalled 5-ounce Pepperoni Rolls sold in Ohio and parts of West Virginia because milk was not declared on the label and the rolls were not kept at proper refrigeration temperatures. Consumers should not eat the recalled product and should discard it or return it for a refund.
Do not rely on the product name alone when checking a pantry or storage area. The recall is tied to a specific lot code and best-buy date, not every Steve’s Real Food product.
The expanded recalled product was distributed through retail stores in Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Michigan, California, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Idaho and Montana, according to the FDA-posted notice.
Go Raw said it worked with distributors and retailers and confirmed the affected lot is no longer present in distribution channels. The company also said it does not believe the product remains available for purchase, but issued the recall out of caution.
The Steve’s Real Food lot was added to a recall that began with Quest Cat Food products. Separate FDA materials list recalled Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe freeze-dried and frozen lots and describe broader FDA concerns about low or absent thiamine in certain Quest products.
That Quest advisory is separate from the newly added Steve’s Real Food lot, but it may be relevant for households that also bought Quest Cat Food. The June 8 Steve’s Real Food recall notice did not list any illness reports tied specifically to the newly added Steve’s Real Food lot.
The FDA recall page listed the Steve’s Real Food notice as current as of June 8, 2026. Go Raw said additional testing and evaluation were still underway and that it was continuing to work with the FDA and industry experts on thiamine testing.
Pet owners should keep the bag, receipt or product photos until they receive a refund or replacement, and should check for any new FDA or company update before feeding similar products from the same purchase period.
Nara Organics has recalled all Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula in the U.S. amid an FDA and CDC infant botulism investigation. Caregivers should stop using the formula immediately and follow official guidance for opened and unopened cans.
