Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bartlett Grain Company is recalling 484 bags of horse feed, including Bartlett Pasture Horse 10 and Cleveland Carolina Champion Horse Feed, because they may be contaminated with Rumensin (monensin). Rumensin is an additive used in cattle and poultry feed that is highly toxic and potentially fatal to horses if ingested. The affected 50-pound bags were manufactured at facilities in Statesville and Shelby, North Carolina, and distributed across several southeastern states. Because of the serious health risks, owners should immediately stop using the feed and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The feed may contain Rumensin, a medication intended for other livestock that causes severe muscle damage, heart failure, and death in horses even in small amounts.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your feed bags for the following product names: Bartlett Pasture Horse 10 Feed or Cleveland Carolina Champion Horse Feed (50 lb bags).
  2. Locate the lot number on the packaging and verify if it matches Lot 288.
  3. If you have feed from Lot 288, stop using it immediately and ensure it is kept out of reach of horses and other animals.
  4. Return any bags from the affected lot to the retail store where they were purchased to receive a full refund.
  5. If your horse has consumed this feed and shows signs of distress, weakness, or rapid heart rate, contact your veterinarian immediately.
  6. For further questions or to report concerns, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
