Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Iams Co has recalled approximately 1.2 million kilograms (over 2.7 million pounds) of bulk animal feed components, including dryer, wet, and vacuum waste by-products. This product contains ruminant material but was distributed without the legally required cautionary statement regarding Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Because the warning label is missing from the accompanying shipping documents, there is a risk the material could be used incorrectly in animal feed.

Risk

The absence of the BSE cautionary statement on feed containing ruminant material increases the risk that this material could be fed to cattle or other ruminant animals. This practice is strictly regulated to prevent the transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as Mad Cow Disease.

What You Should Do

  1. Review your shipping records and bills of lading for bulk animal feed components received from Iams Co, specifically dryer waste, wet waste, and vacuum waste.
  2. Check the bill of lading accompanying the trailer to see if it is missing the required BSE cautionary statement for ruminant material.
  3. Identify if your shipments correspond to recall number V-010-4, involving approximately 1,227,824 KG of bulk material.
  4. If you identify affected product that lacks the proper warning statement, stop using the ingredient in any feed production immediately.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Iams Co at 6571 State Route 503 North, Lewisburg, Ohio, 45338-0862 for further instructions on handling the material.
  6. For additional questions or to report concerns, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
