The safety record
FDA recall records for 9Lives
From the FDA's own Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts list (Animal & Veterinary), last checked October 18, 2026, plus older recalls we added by hand from FDA notices — the same source as our full recall feed, filtered to 9Lives. A recall on this list is a documented fact, not automatically a reason to avoid the brand today — read the reason and date for context.
9Lives Protein Plus wet canned cat food, 4-packs of 5.5 oz cans (Tuna & Chicken; Tuna & Liver)
Possible low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1)
Expanded limited recall of canned cat food under 9Lives, EverPet and Special Kitty (original announcement 01/03/2017; FDA page posted 02/08/2018)
Possible low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1)
The FDA's online recall list is complete for recent years but leaves out many notices from before about 2023. We add older FDA recall notices by hand when we find them, so a brand with no listing here may still have an older recall.
