Risk of hypokalaemia in cats after feeding complete cat food
Machine-translated from Danish. The official notice is in Danish.
Salling Group A/S is recalling two types of cat food from Raakraft produced in Hungary, as there is suspicion that the products may cause hypokalaemia in cats that have been fed the complete food.
- Product

- Sold at
- The products have been sold in Salling Super (Aarhus and Aalborg), Føtex, Netto and Bilka shops throughout the country.
- Why
- The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has received several reports of cats that have become ill with symptoms of hypokalaemia. What the cats have in common is that they have eaten cat food from Raakraft. Analyses show that the potassium content in the food in certain cases is below the minimum recommendations for cats. Blood tests from the sick cats show potassium deficiency. Furthermore, the food is suspected of lacking vitamin B1, and a low content of fungal toxin has been detected. Symptoms of potassium deficiency in cats are lethargy, difficulty holding the head up, stiff gait and reduced appetite. In severe cases, potassium deficiency can be fatal to cats. The food is marketed as complete food, but is not considered to meet a cat's daily nutritional requirements, as complete food should.
- What to do
- If you have the two types of cat food at home, you should discard the food or return it to the shop. If you notice that your cat develops symptoms of potassium deficiency, you should contact your veterinarian.
