H. J. Baker & Brothers Inc.: Animal Feed Concentrates Recalled for Ruminant Meat and Bone Meal Contamination

Agency Publication Date: June 27, 2006

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 14,778 tons of various animal protein concentrates and feather meal products are being recalled due to possible contamination with meat and bone meal derived from ruminants. This recall includes PRO-LAK, ProAmino II, PRO-PAK, and Feather Meal distributed across the United States. The contamination poses a safety risk for certain livestock as ruminant-derived materials are restricted in feed for other ruminants. Consumers should immediately stop using these specific feeds for their animals and return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

The feed may contain ruminant-derived meat and bone meal, which is prohibited in certain animal feeds to prevent the spread of diseases like Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Using contaminated feed can introduce restricted animal proteins into the food chain for cattle and other ruminants.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any of the affected products: PRO-LAK (bulk), ProAmino II (50lb bags), PRO-PAK Marine & Animal Protein Concentrate, or Feather Meal.
  2. Check the packaging for recall numbers V-079-6, V-080-6, V-081-6, or V-082-6 to confirm the product is part of this recall.
  3. Immediately stop using these products for feeding any ruminant animals (such as cows, sheep, or goats).
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase to receive a full refund or contact H. J. Baker & Brothers Inc. for further handling instructions.
  5. For additional questions or to report concerns, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
