Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

CHS INC Holland has recalled approximately 143 units (143 total tons) of bulk turkey feed after receiving reports of ill and dying turkeys. The recall includes 15 tons of F813 3T #1 Grower Large Crumbles and 128 tons of F837 7T Finisher #2 Pellets. Investigations confirmed that the feed contained excessively high levels of salt, which is toxic to turkeys at these concentrations. These products were distributed specifically in Michigan.

Risk

The turkey feed contains excessively high levels of salt that can lead to salt poisoning, causing illness and death in turkeys. The manufacturer initiated the recall after investigating complaints from customers whose turkeys became sick or died after consuming the product.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected bulk feed by checking your delivery labels for 'F813 3T #1 GROWER LARGE CRUMBLES W/ CIT' (Recall #V-246-2015) or 'F837 7T FINISHER #2 PELLETS W/ SAFEGUARD' (Recall #V-247-2015).
  2. Stop feeding this specific product to your turkeys immediately and isolate any remaining feed to prevent further consumption.
  3. Check your records to see if your feed was manufactured by CHS Inc. at their West Michigan Mills located at 13400 van Buren St, Holland, Michigan.
  4. Contact CHS INC Holland at their facility or through your local representative to arrange for the return of the product or to receive further instructions on disposal and credits.
  5. Consult a veterinarian for assistance if your turkeys are showing signs of illness or if you have concerns about salt poisoning in your flock.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Veterinary Medicine hotline or your local FDA district office.
