Federacion de Asociaciones Pecuarias de P.R. Inc.: Corn Animal Feeds Recalled Due to Fenitrothion Contamination

Agency Publication Date: February 6, 2004

Summary

Federacion de Asociaciones Pecuarias de P.R. Inc. is recalling approximately 6,158,400 pounds of various animal feed products, including whole corn, chopped corn, calf ration, and dairy milk producer feeds. Laboratory testing discovered the presence of Fenitrothion, an organophosphate insecticide, within the feed. The products were sold in 50 lb bags to farmers and retail stores exclusively in Puerto Rico. Owners of livestock should stop using these feeds immediately to prevent animal illness or chemical residue in food products.

Risk

Fenitrothion is a chemical pesticide that is not intended for use in these animal feed products; exposure can lead to toxicity in livestock and may potentially contaminate meat or milk produced by animals consuming the feed.

Check the labels, which are printed in Spanish, to confirm they were manufactured by Federacion de Asociaciones Pecuarias de P.R. Inc. and distributed in Puerto Rico.
Immediately stop using the contaminated feed and ensure it is kept away from all livestock and other animals.
Return the affected products to the store or farm supplier where they were purchased for a full refund.
