Agency Publication Date: August 9, 2007

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 147,785 units of various animal feed premixes, including Bioplex Copper 10%, Bioplex Quadra, and TCN Equi-Mix, have been recalled because they were manufactured with a contaminated ingredient. The copper sulfate pentahydrate used in these products was found to contain dioxin-like PCBs, which are hazardous chemical contaminants. These feed products were packaged in 25kg bags and distributed worldwide for various livestock and animal types.

Risk

The feed premixes contain dioxin-like PCBs, which can accumulate in the tissues of animals and potentially enter the food chain, posing long-term health risks to both animals and humans. While the agency classified this as a low-risk event, these contaminants are known to be toxic and environmentally persistent.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any 25kg bags of the affected feed premixes by checking for the following recall numbers: V-056-2007 (Bioplex Copper 10%), V-057-2007 (Bioplex ZMC 842 + Co), V-058-2007 (Bioplex Quadra), V-059-2007 (Purina Ratite Bioplex), V-060-2007 (Bioplex mix Woody's), V-061-2007 (Stocker 4), V-062-2007 (TCN Equi-Mix), V-063-2007 (Hi-5), V-064-2007 (GHC Yeast Mineral Blend), V-065-2007 (PCLS Organic), V-066-2007 (Tri-Star Bio-Sacc), V-067-2007 (Bioplex/Selplex), and V-068-2007 (Rangen Custom Blend).
  2. Immediately stop using the affected feed premixes and secure them to prevent animal consumption.
  3. Return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Alltech Inc for further instructions regarding the disposal or return of contaminated batches.
  4. Consult a veterinarian if you have concerns about the health of animals that have consumed the contaminated feed.
  5. Contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for your state or call the FDA's general inquiry line at 1-888-463-6332 for more information.
