🧊 Safety & Storage
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Always thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature. Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly before and after handling raw ingredients. Never feed raw liver or eggs due to bacterial contamination risk.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without adjusting quantities, as liver is very high in vitamin A and excessive amounts can cause toxicity. Do not replace sardines with tuna or other high-mercury fish. Avoid substituting coconut oil with olive oil or butter as the fatty acid profile differs significantly. Pumpkin should not be replaced with other squash varieties that may have different fiber content. Do not add onions, garlic, grapes, or any ingredients toxic to cats.
