Eu-Tec Nutrition Inc: Various Medicated Swine Pellets and Feeds Recalled for Dioxin Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 16, 2003

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 189 units of various medicated pig feeds and starter pellets have been recalled because a raw material ingredient, zinc oxide, was found to contain elevated levels of dioxin. These products, manufactured under brand names such as Eu-Tec Nutrition, SBD, Suidae Technology, McNess, and others, were sold in 50-lb. bags and large totes across Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesota. Consumers should immediately stop using these specific medicated feeds for their livestock and contact their supplier or the manufacturer to return the product.

Risk

The feed contains elevated levels of dioxin introduced through contaminated zinc oxide, which can accumulate in the animal's system and potentially enter the human food chain through meat products. Dioxins are environmental pollutants that can pose long-term health risks to both animals and humans who consume meat from affected animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed supply for any 50-lb. bags or large totes from brands including Eu-Tec Nutrition, SBD, Suidae Technology, United Suppliers, McNess, Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co. (FAC), or Omega Nutrition.
  2. Match the specific product name and Recall Number on your label to the affected list, such as Eu-Tec Nutrition Easi Start (V-321-3), SBD Prestarter 1 (V-322-3), or Suidae Technology Weaner Stage III (V-323-3).
  3. Look for other specific recalls including FAC 12-16 or 16-22 (V-331-3 through V-334-3), and Omega Nutrition Alpha, Beta, or Gamma Starter pellets (V-335-3 through V-341-3).
  4. Stop using any affected feed immediately and secure it to ensure it is not fed to any swine or other livestock.
  5. Return the unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Eu-Tec Nutrition Inc. at their Maquoketa, Iowa location for further instructions.
  6. If you have questions regarding the health of your livestock, contact your veterinarian or a healthcare provider for professional guidance.
  7. Contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for your state if you have further questions or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
