HI-TEK Rations, Inc.: Horse Nuggets and Fish Food Recalled for Missing Ruminant Caution Label

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

HI-TEK Rations, Inc. has recalled approximately 10 tons of animal feed, including 3 tons of Horse Nuggets Performance (40 lb bags) and 7 tons of Aqua-Tek Quality Floating Fish Food (50 lb bags). These products may contain prohibited ruminant materials (ingredients derived from animals like cows or goats), but the packaging fails to include the mandatory caution statement required by federal law. Consumers who purchased these specific animal feeds in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, or West Virginia should identify the products by their net weight and brand name.

Risk

The lack of a required caution statement regarding prohibited ruminant materials poses a regulatory and safety risk in animal feed management, specifically related to preventing the spread of certain diseases among livestock. While no animal illnesses have been reported, the labels must clearly state if ingredients are not suitable for certain types of animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the packaging for 'Hi-Tek Rations Horse Nuggets Performance' in 40 LB (18.14 kg) bags or 'Hi-Tek Rations Aqua-Tek Quality Floating Fish Food' in 50 LBS (22.68 kg) paper bags.
  2. Check the packaging for Recall # V-006-5 (Horse Nuggets) or Recall # V-007-5 (Fish Food) to confirm if your specific purchase is affected.
  3. Immediately stop using the feed for your animals if you do not see the required caution statement regarding ruminant ingredients on the label.
  4. Return the affected paper bags of feed to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact HI-TEK Rations, Inc. at 800-284-4835 for further instructions.
  5. For additional questions or to report a problem, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator or call the agency's hotline at 1-888-463-6332.
