Grand Meadows, Inc.: Grand Vite Horse Nutritional Supplement Recalled for Prohibited Animal Protein

Agency Publication Date: December 9, 2003

Summary

Grand Meadows, Inc. has recalled Grand Vite, a nutritional supplement for horses sold in 5, 10, and 25-pound tubs. The product contains prohibited animal protein and lacks the necessary warning labels to prevent it from being fed to ruminant animals like cattle, sheep, or goats. Consumers who have purchased these tubs for their horses should identify any remaining product and follow the instructions to return it to the place of purchase.
