Halter Feed & Grain Inc: Pig Meal and Layer Pellets Recalled for Missing BSE Caution Statement

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Halter Feed & Grain Inc. is recalling 80 units of Halter 15% Pig Meal and Halter 18% Layer Pellet because the packaging was missing a required safety warning. These animal feeds contain protein derived from mammalian tissue, which necessitates a specific caution statement regarding Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Without the label 'Do not feed to cattle and other ruminants,' there is a risk the feed could be mistakenly given to animals like cattle, sheep, or goats. The products were sold in 50-pound paper bags to customers in northern Ohio.

Risk

If these feeds are mistakenly fed to cattle or other ruminants, it can lead to the transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a serious neurological disease that can be spread through contaminated animal proteins.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your animal feed storage for Halter 15% Pig Meal or Halter 18% Layer Pellet in 50-pound paper bags.
  2. Verify if the bags are missing the required caution statement: 'Do not feed to cattle and other ruminants'.
  3. Immediately stop using these products if you intended to feed them to cattle, sheep, goats, or other ruminant animals.
  4. Return any affected bags of Halter 15% Pig Meal or Halter 18% Layer Pellet to Halter Feed & Grain Inc. at 405 Tremont Ave SW, Massillon, Ohio, or your place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Contact Halter Feed & Grain Inc. directly for further instructions regarding the disposal or relabeling of the product.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
