Cal Maine Foods Inc Feed Division: Bulk Dairy Feed Recalled for Potential Ruminant Meat and Bone Meal Contamination

Agency Publication Date: July 29, 2006

Summary

Cal Maine Foods Inc Feed Division is recalling 7,150 tons of Bulk Dairy Feed due to possible contamination with meat and bone meal derived from ruminant animals (such as cattle or sheep). This feed was distributed specifically in Mississippi and was initiated on June 26, 2006. Because this feed was intended for dairy animals, the presence of prohibited mammalian protein poses a regulatory and health safety risk within the animal feed supply chain.

Risk

The feed may contain ruminant-derived meat and bone meal, which is prohibited in feed for other ruminants to prevent the spread of diseases like Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Consuming prohibited animal proteins can introduce restricted biological materials into the dairy production cycle.
