🧊 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, never at room temperature. Always serve at room temperature. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat. Discard any uneaten food left out for more than 2 hours. Consult your veterinarian before introducing this recipe, especially if your cat has liver conditions due to the high organ meat content.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with beef or pork liver without adjusting portions, as they have different nutrient densities and vitamin A levels that could cause toxicity or deficiency. Avoid replacing olive oil with vegetable oils like canola or sunflower, as they lack the same skin-supporting properties. Do not omit taurine supplementation, as cats cannot synthesize this essential amino acid and deficiency causes serious heart and eye conditions. Never add onions, garlic, grapes, or xylitol as these are toxic to cats.
