Agency Publication Date: July 20, 2004

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Crivitz Feed Mill is recalling approximately 515 pounds of custom deer feed because it contains steamed bone meal. Steamed bone meal is a prohibited material in feed intended for ruminant animals such as deer, as it can carry risks associated with certain neurological diseases. This specific batch was manufactured on January 30, 2004, and was packaged in bags weighing approximately 40 pounds each. Consumers who have this feed should not use it and should return it for a refund.

Risk

The feed contains steamed bone meal, which is strictly prohibited for use in ruminant animal feed due to the risk of transmitting Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Feeding prohibited animal proteins to ruminants is a safety violation designed to prevent the spread of neurological diseases within animal populations.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking for 'Custom deer feed' in 40-pound bags that was manufactured specifically for the Mike Kozak farm on January 30, 2004.
  2. Immediately stop using this feed for deer or any other ruminant animals.
  3. Return any remaining bags of the feed to Crivitz Feed Mill, located at 504 Wilbert St/Box 2748, Crivitz, Wisconsin, 54114, for a full refund.
  4. If you have questions about this recall, contact Crivitz Feed Mill directly or reach out to your local veterinarian if you have concerns about animals that consumed the feed.
