Is 'Castelfranco' Radicchio toxic to cats?

No — 'castelfranco' radicchio is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant list and has a long, safe history in human and animal diets; chicory root is a routine, generally-recognised-as-safe prebiotic ingredient in commercial pet foods. No poisoning risk is reported, though large amounts of the inulin-rich root can cause loose stools or gas in sensitive dogs.
