American By Products: Pork Meal Recalled for Missing Mandatory BSE Cautionary Statement

Agency Publication Date: January 17, 2003

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 25 tons of Pork Meal has been recalled because the product label failed to include the mandatory BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) cautionary statement: "Do Not Feed to Cattle Or Any Other Ruminants." This recall involves a significant quantity of animal feed distributed in Muenster, Texas. Because the warning was missing, there was a risk that this product could be mistakenly fed to cattle, sheep, or goats, which is prohibited under federal safety regulations. If you have purchased this product for animal feed, you should stop using it for ruminant animals immediately.

Risk

The missing label warning is critical for preventing the spread of BSE (commonly known as mad cow disease); without the 'Do Not Feed to Cattle Or Any Other Ruminants' statement, the product could be fed to ruminant animals, potentially violating federal feed bans and posing a risk to the livestock supply chain.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your records or product packaging for 'Pork Meal' distributed by American By Products, specifically identified under Recall Number V-047-3.
  2. Verify if the product was received through distribution channels in Muenster, Texas, between November 2002 and the termination of the recall.
  3. Inspect the label for the required statement: 'Do Not Feed to Cattle Or Any Other Ruminants.' If this statement is missing, the product is affected by this recall.
  4. Immediately stop feeding the affected Pork Meal to any ruminant animals, including cattle, sheep, or goats.
  5. Contact the manufacturer, American By Products, at their 13420 Pilgrim Road, Rosser, Texas, 75157 location to arrange for a replacement label or a refund/return of the product.
  6. For further questions or to report issues, contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
