Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BioMatrix, Inc. has recalled 1,500 pounds of Gourley Brothers LC Pig Enzyme Pack 8184 because a supplier notified them that an enzyme used in the product was contaminated with the antibiotic chloramphenicol. This product is a low-inclusion animal feed supplement used specifically for swine. Consumers should be aware that chloramphenicol is not permitted for use in food-producing animals because it can pose health risks to both the animals and potentially humans who consume animal products.

Risk

The feed supplement is contaminated with chloramphenicol, an antibiotic that is strictly prohibited in food-producing animals due to the risk of serious side effects in humans, such as aplastic anemia, which can occur even at low levels of exposure.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the 50 lb bags of Gourley Brothers LC, Pig Enzyme Pack 8184 used in your swine feed manufacturing.
  2. Check the packaging for Lot Number 46989 to determine if your supply is part of the recalled 1,500 lb batch.
  3. Immediately stop using any feed supplement identified with Lot 46989 in the production of animal feeds.
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact BioMatrix, Inc. directly for disposal and replacement instructions.
  5. If you have already used this supplement in feed, contact your veterinarian or a livestock specialist to discuss potential concerns regarding the swine and the final food products.
  6. For further questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
