5. How to Check if Your Cat’s Food or Treats Have Been Recalled
The FDA maintains a searchable database of all pet food recalls. Here is how to stay protected:
• Visit FDA.gov/animal-veterinary and check the Outbreaks and Advisories page regularly.
• Sign up for recall alerts at DogFoodAdvisor.com (they also cover cat food recalls).
• Always check the lot number and best-by date on your cat’s food and treats — recalls are lot-specific.
• If your cat shows sudden vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy after eating a new food or treat, stop feeding it immediately and contact your vet.
