CARGILL INCORPORATED: Southeast and Wrangler Animal Feed Recalled for Elevated Aflatoxin Levels

Agency Publication Date: April 10, 2020

Summary

Cargill Incorporated is recalling 781 bags of animal feed, including Southeast 12/8 Horse Pellet, Wrangler 11% Sweet, and Wrangler 12% All Stock Sweet. The recall was initiated after a load of peanut hulls used in manufacturing these products tested positive for 132 parts per billion (ppb) of aflatoxin, which exceeded safety standards. These products were distributed domestically in the Florida area. Consumers who have purchased these specific bags should not feed them to animals and should return them for a refund.

Risk

The feed contains aflatoxin, a toxin produced by certain molds that can grow on crops like peanuts. If animals consume high levels of aflatoxin, it can lead to aflatoxicosis, causing liver damage, illness, or death.
