This article reports that the Iams ProActive Health canned cat and kitten food is being recalled due to low levels of thiamine, which can lead to thiamine deficiency. If you have any cans of this food, please throw them out. I know the recall is limited to certain "best if used by" dates, but based on my observations of past recalls, I wouldn't trust that information. It often turns out that the problems are more wide-spread than originally believed.

Iams Issues Voluntary Cat Food Recall
Iams ProActive Health canned Cat and Kitten Food is being recalled due to low levels of thiamine. . . . According to Iams, "early signs of thiamine deficiency may include loss of appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss. In advanced cases, signs may include ventroflexion (downward curving) of the neck, wobbly gait, falling, circling and seizures. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible." Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these signs or if you are concerned about your cat's health.
