🧊 Safety & Storage
Store refrigerated portions in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Freeze individual portions in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Always serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Discard any uneaten food after 30 minutes. Wash all surfaces and utensils thoroughly with hot soapy water after preparation.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without recalculating vitamin A and copper levels, as liver provides critical micronutrients. Avoid replacing sardines with tuna due to mercury concerns and potential thiaminase in some fish. Do not use onion, garlic, or chives in any quantity as these are toxic to cats. Sunflower oil should not be replaced with olive oil due to different fatty acid profiles. Always consult your veterinarian before making any ingredient substitutions to ensure nutritional completeness.
