Agency Publication Date: August 2, 2016

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 3,860 units of Kountry Buffet 14% Text and Provider 15% Pellet livestock feeds are being recalled because they contain high levels of copper. These products, manufactured by CHS Inc., were sold in 50 lb bags and bulk formats across Oregon and Washington. The issue was discovered during routine company analysis, and elevated copper levels can be harmful or even fatal to certain livestock. Consumers should stop using the feed immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Excessive copper levels in animal feed can lead to copper toxicity, a serious condition that causes liver damage and jaundice. This risk is particularly high for sheep and goats, which are highly sensitive to copper intake.
