Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 2,420 bags of various Payback brand animal feeds are being recalled because they may be contaminated with magnesium. The recall includes 50 lb. bags of feed for rabbits, laying poultry, turkeys, pheasants, swine, and waterfowl distributed in Montana and Wyoming. High levels of certain minerals can be harmful to animals, and consumers should immediately stop using the affected feed and return it to where it was purchased for a full refund.

Risk

The feed may be contaminated with magnesium, which can lead to health issues or toxicity in livestock and pets if consumed in improper amounts. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, but the contamination poses a critical risk to animal health.
