Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Farmers Elevator Co has recalled its custom made deer feed because it may contain protein derived from mammalian tissues, which is prohibited in feed for ruminant animals like deer. The affected product was custom manufactured and sold in 100 lb. poly bags without standard labeling. This recall affects a specific distribution to one farm in Houston, Ohio, and consumers should return any remaining feed to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

Ruminant animals (such as deer and cattle) that consume feed contaminated with certain mammalian proteins are at risk of developing serious neurological diseases. The prohibition of these proteins is a critical safety measure to prevent the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected product: a custom-made deer feed packaged in large, 100 lb. poly bags that do not have a commercial label.
  2. Immediately stop using this feed for deer or any other ruminant animals.
  3. Return any remaining product to Farmers Elevator Co at 3837 State Route 66, Houston, Ohio, 45333, for a full refund.
  4. If you have questions, you can contact the manufacturer, Farmers Elevator Co, directly at their Houston, Ohio location.
  5. For additional questions or to report safety concerns, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator at 1-888-463-6332.
