Gold Eagle Cooperative: Bulk Swine and Poultry Feeds Recalled for Missing Ruminant Feed Warning

Agency Publication Date: November 4, 2005

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gold Eagle Cooperative has recalled bulk medicated and nonmedicated custom swine and poultry feeds because they may contain animal-derived ingredients prohibited for use in cattle feed. These products were distributed without the mandatory warning label: "Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants." If these feeds are mistakenly given to cattle, sheep, or goats, it could lead to the spread of certain diseases. The affected feed was distributed directly to producers in Iowa, Georgia, Maryland, and Minnesota.

Risk

The feed may contain prohibited mammalian proteins. Feeding these materials to ruminant animals like cattle, sheep, or goats is strictly regulated to prevent the transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). While the feed is intended for swine and poultry, the lack of a warning label increases the risk of accidental and illegal misuse.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your scale tickets for any bulk swine or poultry feed orders to identify the manufacturer. Look specifically for the firm name "Gold-Eagle Cooperative, Goldfield, Iowa."
  2. Locate the recall numbers V-006-6 (for nonmedicated feeds) or V-007-6 (for medicated feeds) on your documentation if available.
  3. Stop using this feed immediately if you intend to feed it to cattle, sheep, goats, or any other ruminant animals.
  4. Contact Gold Eagle Cooperative at their Goldfield, Iowa office (415 N Locust St) or your local sales representative to receive the proper warning labels or to arrange for the return of the product.
  5. If you have already fed this product to ruminant animals, contact a veterinarian to discuss potential health concerns and regulatory compliance.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
