Agency Publication Date: September 28, 2004

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 200 units of 9 Mile Steer Feed and 9 Mile Pig & Sow Feed are being recalled because they may contain mammalian protein, which is prohibited for use in cattle feed. The steer feed was manufactured on June 24, 2004, and the pig feed on June 2, 2004, both packaged in 100 lb. white poly weaved bags. This recall was initiated because the steer feed contains prohibited ingredients for ruminants, and the pig feed lacks the required warning label stating 'Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants.' Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

The steer feed contains protein derived from mammalian tissues, which is strictly prohibited in ruminant diets to prevent the spread of diseases like Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). The pig feed lacks a mandatory FDA safety warning label, which could lead to the feed being accidentally given to cattle or other ruminants, posing a similar health risk.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your animal feed storage for 100 lb. white poly weaved bags labeled as '9 Mile Steer Feed' or '9 Mile Pig & Sow Feed'.
  2. Identify the 9 Mile Steer Feed (Recall #: V-187-4) by a white label tied to the bag inlet with twine; this specific batch was manufactured on June 24, 2004.
  3. Identify the 9 Mile Pig & Sow Feed (Recall #: V-188-4) by a white label tied to the bag inlet with twine; this specific batch was manufactured on June 2, 2004.
  4. Immediately stop feeding the affected products to your livestock.
  5. Return any remaining bags of feed to Farmers Elevator Co at 3837 State Route 66, Houston, Ohio, for a full refund or contact them directly at (937) 295-2511 for disposal instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report issues, contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
