Blue Seal Feeds, Inc.: Various Pet and Livestock Feeds Recalled for Missing Vitamin D3

Agency Publication Date: September 30, 2004

Summary

Approximately 19,567 units of various Blue Seal Feeds pet and livestock products have been recalled because Vitamin D3 was not added during manufacturing. The recall includes a wide variety of feeds such as floating fish food, guinea pig pellets, chick starter, layer crumbles, and pig and sow pellets, distributed in 25 lb. bags, 50 lb. bags, and bulk quantities. Without essential Vitamin D3, animals and pets may develop nutritional deficiencies that can lead to serious health issues over time.

Risk

Vitamin D3 is a critical nutrient for calcium absorption and bone health; its absence can cause rickets in young animals, soft eggshells in poultry, and general failure to thrive or skeletal deformities across all affected species.

What You Should Do

Identify your product by checking the packaging for the brand 'Blue Seal' or 'Kent' and matching the Product Number and Recall Number (e.g., Kent 3% Floating Fish Food, Product No. 125, Recall #: V-192-4).
Check the product weight and type against the affected list, which includes 25 lb. bags, 50 lb. bags, and bulk tons of fish, guinea pig, avian, poultry, and swine feeds.
Stop feeding the affected product to your animals immediately to prevent nutritional deficiency.
Return any unused portion of the feed to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Blue Seal Feeds, Inc. for further instructions.
If your animals or pets show signs of weakness, bone deformities, or decreased production, consult a veterinarian immediately.
