Blue Seal Feeds, Inc.: Various Animal Feeds Recalled for Low Phosphorus Levels

Agency Publication Date: September 30, 2004

Summary

Blue Seal Feeds, Inc. has recalled approximately 4,156 units of various animal feeds, including poultry, game bird, livestock, and specialty elk pellets, because the phosphorus levels are lower than what is stated on the product labels. These feeds were sold in bags ranging from 25 to 50 pounds, as well as in bulk quantities, across 10 Eastern and Mid-Atlantic states. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the nutritional content did not meet the guaranteed analysis required for animal health.

Risk

Phosphorus is a critical mineral for animal growth, bone development, and metabolic function. Providing feed with insufficient phosphorus levels can lead to nutritional deficiencies, impaired growth, and weakened skeletal structures in avians, livestock, and deer.

What You Should Do

Locate the product name and product number on your feed bag to see if it is affected, such as AVI Pels (807), Breeder Pels (634), Chick Starter-AM (601/602), or Turkey Grower (809).
Check for specific bag sizes and product numbers, including 25 lb and 50 lb bags of Layer Crumbles (624), Layer Mash (623), Layer Pellets (625), and Grower-Cal (605/606/607).
For specialty feeds, verify if you have 50 lb bags of Antler King Deer and Elk Pellets, Accelerator 32 Pellets, Refresher Dry 32, or Natural 40 Pellets.
If you have purchased bulk feed, identify if you received NYS-RM-22 Starter or Blue Seal Energizer 36.
Stop using the affected feed immediately to ensure your animals receive proper nutrition.
Return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Blue Seal Feeds, Inc. at their Londonderry, NH location at 15 Buttrick Rd for further instructions.
Contact your veterinarian or animal nutritionist if you have concerns about the health or development of animals that consumed this feed.
