BJB, LLC: Yellow Grease Recalled for Missing Ruminant Feed Caution Statement

Agency Publication Date: February 23, 2015

Summary

Approximately 42,340 pounds (one truckload) of Yellow Grease is being recalled because it was delivered without the required caution statement: "do not feed to ruminants." This label is a mandatory safety requirement for certain inedible grease products to prevent them from being mistakenly used in feed for animals like cattle, sheep, or goats. The affected product was distributed in Iowa around January 2015.

Risk

The absence of the caution statement poses a risk that the grease could be used in feed for ruminant animals, which is prohibited under federal regulations to prevent the spread of diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

What You Should Do

Review your delivery records to see if you received a bulk shipment of approximately 42,340 lbs. of Yellow Grease (Recall #V-233-2015) from BJB, LLC in January 2015.
Inspect the shipment labeling and documentation for the mandatory statement: "Caution: Do not feed to ruminants."
If the caution statement is missing, do not use the grease in any feed intended for cattle, sheep, goats, or other ruminant animals.
Contact BJB, LLC at their Hutchinson, Minnesota location (340 Michigan St Se) to receive corrected labeling or for instructions on how to handle the product.
If you have concerns about livestock that may have already consumed the grease, contact your veterinarian or animal health specialist for guidance.
For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine or the main FDA hotline at 1-888-463-6332.
