Summary

Griffin Industries Inc. has recalled 863 bags of Hydrolyzed Feather Meal (50 lb. bags) because the product may contain prohibited material and lacks the required cautionary statement: 'Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants.' This recall affects a specific shipment of 50 lb. bags distributed to United Feeds in Sheridan, Indiana. Consumers and facility managers should check their feed inventory for these 50 lb. bags of feather meal.

Risk

The product lacks required labeling to prevent it from being fed to cattle or other ruminants, which is a critical safety measure to prevent the potential spread of animal diseases. Feeding prohibited animal-derived materials to ruminants like cattle can pose serious health risks to livestock and the food supply chain.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for 50 lb. bags of Hydrolyzed Feather Meal specifically labeled as Recall #V-109-5.
  2. Immediately stop using this feather meal for any cattle or ruminant feed programs if the packaging lacks the 'Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants' warning.
  3. Contact United Feeds in Sheridan, Indiana, or Griffin Industries Inc. to arrange for the return of the product or to obtain the correct cautionary labeling.
  4. If you have already fed this product to cattle or other ruminants, contact a veterinarian or animal health specialist for guidance.
