Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Seal Feeds, Inc. is recalling 238 bags of Blue Seal brand Chick Starter-AM Crumbles (Medicated) because the active medication, Amprolium, is subpotent. The product was found to contain only 76.8% of the labeled medication amount, falling below the required 80% to 120% potency range. This recall affects both 25 lb. and 50 lb. bags distributed to dealers in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Because this is a medicated feed, consumers should contact a veterinarian or the manufacturer for guidance regarding the effectiveness of the product for their poultry.

Risk

The lower-than-required levels of Amprolium may result in the product being less effective at preventing or treating coccidiosis in young chicks, which could lead to illness or health complications in the birds.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected Blue Seal brand Chick Starter-AM Crumbles (Medicated) by checking the label for the manufacturer statement: 'Manufactured by BLUE SEAL FEEDS, INC., P.O. Box 8000, Londonderry, NH 03053'.
  2. Verify the bag size, as this recall includes both 25 lb. and 50 lb. bags with the active ingredient Amprolium 113.5g/ton (0.0125%).
  3. Contact your veterinarian or a poultry health specialist to discuss if your chicks require alternative treatment due to the reduced potency of the medication in this feed.
  4. Return any unused portions of the 25 lb. or 50 lb. bags to the dealer or place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Contact Blue Seal Feeds, Inc. at their Londonderry, New Hampshire office for further instructions or to report any concerns regarding the product.
  6. For additional information, you may contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
