Procter & Gamble Company is voluntarily recalling specific lots of Iams ProActive Health canned cat and kitten food. The recall only affects lots manufactured in North America. Diagnostic testing indicated that the product may contain insufficient levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1), which is essential for cats. Cats that were fed these canned products as their only food are at greater risk for developing signs of thiamine deficiency.

 Thiamine deficiency can cause excessive salivation, vomiting, dilated pupils, loss of coordination, seizures and slow heartbeat. The recall affects all Iams ProActive Health canned Cat and Kitten Food, in both 3 oz and 5.5 oz cans, with dates on the bottom of the can from September 2011 to June 2012.
