Summary

Cargill, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,564,020 pounds of bulk hominy and Golden Max Corn Germ Dehydrated because the products may contain extraneous animal material from a squirrel. These veterinary products were distributed in bulk to 13 consignees across the United States. Owners of livestock or animals should immediately verify if their feed was sourced from the affected lots and contact the manufacturer or their veterinarian for guidance.

Risk

The presence of extraneous animal material, such as squirrel remains, in animal feed can introduce physical contaminants or biological risks. This recall is classified as a low-risk event, meaning use of the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences, but the material is considered an adulterant.
