Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Progressive Nutrition is recalling 40L Distillers Balancer R800, a medicated animal feed containing Monensin (Monensin sodium). This recall was issued because the mixing directions on the product labels do not match approved safety guidelines, which could lead to incorrect dosing of the medication for livestock. The affected product was distributed to customers in South Dakota and includes specific manufacturing codes with expiration dates in early 2017. Owners and producers should contact their veterinarian or the manufacturer to ensure animals receive the correct treatment.

Risk

Using the incorrect mixing directions can cause livestock to consume levels of Monensin that are either too low to be effective or high enough to be toxic. Over-ingestion of Monensin can cause serious illness or death in cattle and is especially dangerous if accidentally fed to other species like horses.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for 40L Distillers Balancer R800, Medicated (Monensin 800 g/ton) manufactured by Progressive Nutrition.
  2. Identify if your product is affected by looking for manufacturing code m274900 with expiration 01/11/17, or codes m330620 and m331490 with expiration 02/13/17.
  3. If you have an affected product, stop using it immediately to prevent improper dosing of your livestock.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or Progressive Nutrition at their facility located at 1500 E Omaha Ave, Norfolk, Nebraska, 68701-6194 to receive guidance on returning the product or obtaining the correct instructions.
