🧊 Safety & Storage
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator. Always serve at room temperature. Discard any food left out for more than 2 hours. Wash all surfaces and utensils thoroughly after preparation. Never feed raw eggs or liver in excess due to biotin absorption concerns and vitamin A toxicity risk.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without adjusting vitamin A levels, as liver is extremely high in retinol and excess can cause toxicity. Avoid replacing sardines with tuna or swordfish due to mercury concerns. Do not omit bone meal or substitute with calcium carbonate without veterinary guidance, as the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is critical for feline health. Coconut oil should not be replaced with olive or vegetable oils as they lack the medium-chain triglycerides beneficial for cats.
