CHS Nutrition Inc.: Payback Beef Mix H-1.0 Medicated Feed Recalled Due to Sub-par Drug Levels

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

CHS Nutrition Inc. has recalled 40 bags (50 lbs. each) of Payback brand BEEF MIX H-1.0 Medicated Beef Feedlot Cattle Supplement. This pelleted supplement, which contains the generic drug Melengestrol Acetate (MGA), is intended to control heat in feedlot heifers. The recall was initiated because laboratory tests showed that the levels of the active medication were sub-par, meaning the product may not work as intended to regulate the cattle's cycles. If you have purchased this feed, you should contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance and return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The concentration of the active drug Melengestrol Acetate was found to be lower than the required specifications, which can lead to ineffective estrus control in feedlot heifers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed bags for the brand name 'Payback' and product name 'BEEF MIX H-1.0 MEDICATED' in 50 lb. bags.
  2. Locate the product code and lot information on the packaging; the affected product is marked with code 6250 and lot number 88020918m900240, which indicates a manufacture date of February 9, 2018.
  3. Verify the active drug ingredient on the tag is listed as Melengestrol Acetate 0.00022%.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to discuss any concerns regarding the health or management of your heifers that consumed this sub-potent feed.
  5. Return any unused bags of the recalled feed to the place of purchase or contact CHS Nutrition Inc. at 300 W Feedville Rd, Hermiston, Oregon, for further instructions on receiving a refund.
