⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do NOT substitute chicken liver with beef liver in equal amounts — beef liver has different vitamin A levels and can cause toxicity if overfed. Do not replace sardines with tuna (mercury risk) or omit taurine (essential for cats — deficiency causes blindness and heart disease). Avoid onions, garlic, grapes, and excess carbohydrates. Do not use raw eggs due to avidin and salmonella risk. Consult your veterinarian before making any substitutions.
