CHS Nutrition: Hog and Beef Dewormers Recalled Due to Expired Active Ingredient

Agency Publication Date: May 9, 2009

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

CHS Nutrition is recalling 809 bags of Safegard Hog Dewormer Medicated and 20 bags of Safeguard Beef Dewormer Mineral Medicated because they were manufactured using an expired batch of the active drug Fenbendazole. A total of 829 bags (50 lbs each) were distributed to retail locations in the Pacific Northwest. Using expired medication in livestock can result in reduced effectiveness of the treatment, potentially failing to control parasitic infections like lungworms and intestinal worms as intended.

Risk

The expired active ingredient, Fenbendazole, may have lost its potency, which means the dewormer could fail to treat or prevent internal parasites in swine and cattle. This poses a risk to animal health by leaving infections untreated and could potentially lead to the spread of parasites within a herd.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the label for 'SAFEGARD HOG DEWORMER MEDICATED' (Recall #: V-173-2009) or 'SAFEGUARD BEEF DEWORMER MINERAL MEDICATED' (Recall #: V-174-2009) in 50 lb bags.
  2. Check the manufacturer information on the bag to confirm it was manufactured by 'CHS NUTRITION' in Sioux Falls, SD.
  3. If you have any of these specific medicated feed products, stop using them immediately to treat your livestock.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or animal healthcare provider for guidance on alternative treatments and to assess if your animals require re-treatment due to the potentially ineffective expired drug.
  5. Return any unused bags of the dewormer to the retail distributor where you purchased them for a full refund.
  6. For further instructions, contact CHS Nutrition at their Hermiston, Oregon facility at 541-567-2211.
  7. For additional questions, call the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
