Recall Date: June 8, 2026
Company: Go Raw, LLC. (Steve’s Real Food brand)

Why It Was Recalled

The recall was issued because the affected lot may contain low levels of thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. Thiamine is an essential water-soluble vitamin required for normal carbohydrate metabolism and neurological function in dogs.

A thiamine deficiency can cause a range of health problems. Early signs may include decreased appetite, vomiting, excessive salivation, weight loss, or poor growth. If deficiency progresses, neurological symptoms can develop, including:

• Ventroflexion of the neck (bending the head toward the floor)
• Mental dullness and vision changes
• Wobbly walking, circling, or falling
• Seizures
• Profound weakness and lethargy

In severe or prolonged cases, thiamine deficiency can be life-threatening. When recognized early and treated with supplementation and supportive care, most dogs respond well and the condition is generally reversible.
