Cargill Inc, Animal Nutrition Division: Medicated Cattle Feed Recalled for Inadequate Feeding Directions

Agency Publication Date: December 17, 2004

Summary

Cargill Inc, Animal Nutrition Division is recalling approximately 277 units (totaling about 255 tons) of various medicated heifer and calf feeds containing Lasalocid. The recall was initiated because the product labels contain inadequate feeding directions for the medication. These products were sold to 23 specific farms located in New York and Pennsylvania between October 2004 and the recall date.

Risk

Inadequate feeding directions for medicated feed can lead to improper dosing of animals. While this specific recall is classified as low risk, incorrect administration of Lasalocid can impact animal health and the effectiveness of the medication.

What You Should Do

Identify if you have any of the 24 affected medicated feed products, such as McCormick Focus HFR, JD's Custom HFR, Broughton Focus HFR, Torview HFR Grower Pellet, or Ro-La Heifer Concentrate, by checking the product code and recall number on your delivery invoice or bag label.
Check your product for specific identifiers including Product Codes such as 137545_MC, 137706_JD, 137540_TV, 137540_RO, and 137542_33, or Recall Numbers V-013-5 through V-036-5.
Immediately stop using the medicated feed if the label directions are unclear or if you have been notified by the manufacturer that your specific batch is affected.
Contact your veterinarian or animal nutritionist for guidance on proper feeding directions for medicated feed containing Lasalocid.
Return any unused medicated feed to the place of purchase (Cargill Animal Nutrition in Alexander, NY) for a refund or contact the manufacturer at their Alexander, NY facility located at 3540 Railroad Ave for corrected labeling information.
