CHS Inc. (Cenex Harvest States): Various Swine, Cattle, and Horse Feeds Recalled for Toxic Selenium Levels

Agency Publication Date: August 13, 2004

Summary

CHS Inc. (Cenex Harvest States) has recalled approximately 75 units (totaling nearly 75 tons) of various bulk animal feeds, including swine, cattle, and horse supplements and concentrates. These feeds were found to contain selenium levels 100 times higher than intended, which has already resulted in reported animal deaths. The affected products were distributed directly to farms in South Dakota.

Risk

Excessive selenium levels in animal feed are toxic; at 100 times the intended concentration, the feed causes acute selenium poisoning, leading to severe organ damage and death in livestock and horses.

Check your records for Recall Numbers V-132-4 through V-148-4 to confirm if your specific bulk delivery is part of this critical safety alert.
Stop feeding the recalled products to your animals immediately to prevent further illness or death.
Contact CHS Inc. (Cenex Harvest States) at their Corson, South Dakota facility located at 36027 482nd Ave to arrange for the return of the toxic feed and to discuss replacement or refund options.
