Blue Buffalo Company, a Wilton, CT based pet food manufacturer, has issued a recall for select bags of “Yums Chicken Recipe Cat Treats” that may contain low levels of propylene glycol, which is not permitted by the FDA for use in cat food.

The product is packaged in 2 oz. plastic stand up pouches. The products involved in this recall include:

Blue Kitty Yums Tasty Chicken Recipe, UPC: 859610007820 –
Best If Used By: April 24, 2016.
Blue Kitty Yums Tasty Chicken Recipe, UPC: 859610007820 –
Best If Used By: July 24, 2016.

No other Blue Buffalo products are currently affected by this recall.

According to a FDA press release, cats reacting to high doses of propylene glycol may exhibit signs of depression and may have a loss of coordination, muscle twitching, and excessive urination and thirst.

The affected product was distributed nationwide in the U.S. and Canada through pet specialty stores and e-commerce.



The FDA tested the product in response to a single consumer complaint and found propylene glycol in one bag of Blue Buffalo cat treats in the impacted lot.

If your cat has consumed the recalled product and has the above symptoms, consult a veterinarian.

Consumers who have purchased the product being recalled may also return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
