🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Freeze individual servings in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in refrigerator. Never leave prepared food at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. Always wash hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw liver and eggs. Discard any uneaten food after 2 hours at room temperature.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute beef or pork liver for chicken liver without adjusting copper and vitamin A levels, as these contain significantly different nutrient profiles. Avoid replacing sardines with tuna due to mercury concerns and altered omega-3 ratios. Do not omit the taurine supplement as cats cannot synthesize adequate amounts and deficiency causes blindness and heart failure. Pumpkin must be plain without spices or sweeteners.
