Basf Corporation: Riboflavin 80 Animal Feed Recalled for High Microbial Bio-Burden

Agency Publication Date: March 13, 2007

Summary

BASF Corporation is recalling approximately 3,000 kg of Lutavit Riboflavin 80% SG 80 (Lutavit B2 SG 80), a commercial animal feed grade vitamin supplement. The recall was initiated because the product was found to have a high microbial bio-burden, meaning it contains an unacceptably high level of microorganisms. This affected product was distributed to specific customers in Ohio and Minnesota and was manufactured in Korea.

Risk

A high microbial bio-burden in animal feed can introduce harmful bacteria or pathogens into the food supply chain for livestock, potentially leading to animal illness or secondary contamination of animal products.

What You Should Do

Identify if you have Lutavit Riboflavin 80% SG 80 spray granulated feed grade in 25 Kg (55.1 lbs) net weight bags.
Check your records or product labels for Recall Number V-023-2007 to confirm your supply is part of the affected 3,000 kg batch.
Immediately stop using the affected animal feed supplement in any feed formulations.
If you are North America Nutrition Company in Lewisburg, OH or Quali Tech, Inc. in Chaska, MN, secure any remaining inventory and contact BASF Corporation for return or disposal instructions.
Contact your veterinarian or animal health specialist if livestock have consumed the affected feed and show signs of illness.
For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
