Officials say certain freeze-dried and frozen products made by GO Raw contain insufficient levels of critical nutrients, like thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. Officials say this vitamin is essential to dogs and cats, as it helps them to maintain normal neurologic function and carbohydrate metabolism.
According to the FDA, pets on a thiamine-deficient diet for an extended period can develop clinical signs such as decreased appetite, vomiting, excessive salivation, weight loss, or poor growth. In severe or prolonged cases, it can lead to vision changes, seizures, and even life-threatening conditions.
