Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Farmers Cooperative Society is recalling approximately 60,020 pounds of various cattle and calf feed products because they were manufactured with a load of rendered animal fat that was not of a sufficient grade for ruminant animals. This recall affects nine different feed varieties, including Co Pro, Sick Pen Feed, and Moffatt Calf Ration, which were distributed in Iowa and Minnesota. Consumers should immediately stop using these specific feeds and return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The use of low-grade animal fat in feed intended for ruminant animals like cattle poses a health risk to the livestock and violates safety standards regarding animal-derived ingredients in ruminant diets.
