Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cargill, Inc. is recalling 1,544 bags of Country Companion 16% Layer Pellet (50 lb. bags) because the product may be comingled with a non-medicated horse feed pellet. This mixture creates a feed with a different nutritional profile than what is listed on the label for laying hens. The affected products were distributed to retailers in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. Consumers should return any bags from the affected lot to their place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The comingling of horse feed with poultry feed results in a nutritional imbalance for laying hens. This different nutritional profile may lead to health issues or reduced productivity in poultry if used as their primary food source.

  3. Stop using the feed immediately if it matches the affected lot information.
