Feline Milk Replacer Recall: Check the UPC and Best-By Date

What changed: On August 26, 2026, Revival Animal Health voluntarily recalled specified lots of Shelter's Choice Feline Milk Replacer and Breeder's Edge Foster Care Feline Milk Replacer because testing found low levels of potassium, copper, folic acid, choline and/or pyridoxine (vitamin B6). The products were sold nationwide online and in retail pet stores. Stop feeding only after matching the package to the affected brand, product, UPC, size, and best-by date below. Because several sizes share dates, matching all four fields is safer than relying on package appearance alone. Because several sizes share dates, matching all four fields—brand, product, UPC, and best-by date—is safer than relying on package appearance alone.

Affected products

The FDA-posted announcement lists one date sequence without a comma between 6/25/2027 and 8/06/2027 for the 12 oz Breeder's Edge row; they are presented here as two dates based on the table's date format. Confirm the printed package date with the company if it is unclear.

Why this recall matters

The company announcement says kittens, especially newborns, are vulnerable because they grow rapidly and depend on milk for all nutrients. It describes possible multi-system effects from the listed deficiencies and says clinical signs may appear within days to weeks. This is medical context from the recall announcement, not a diagnosis guide.

At the time of the announcement, no illnesses from the products had been confirmed. Revival was investigating nine complaints involving possible gastrointestinal and bone-development issues. That status may change; use the live FDA notice for updates.

How to check a package without guessing

1. Find the exact brand and product name on the front.
2. Locate the UPC and match every digit.
3. Confirm the package size.
4. Read the printed best-by date and match it to the same row.
5. Photograph the identifiers before contacting the company.

A matching brand alone is not enough. A matching date on a different size or UPC is also not enough. If the label is damaged or the date is unreadable, pause feeding and ask Revival Animal Health to identify it.

Refund and veterinary guidance

The announcement directs consumers with affected product to stop feeding it immediately and contact Revival Animal Health for a full refund. The listed consumer phone number is 1-877-870-4059, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time.

If a kitten consumed recalled formula and is unwell, contact a veterinarian promptly. Do not wait for an article or social post to identify symptoms, and do not change a neonatal kitten's feeding plan without veterinary guidance. Bring the package photos and feeding timeline to the call.

The practical bottom line

Match the package against one complete row, stop feeding confirmed affected product, preserve the identifiers, and contact the company. For broader preparation, see the pet toxic foods and products guide, the home inventory checklist, or browse the Pets hub.
