Interfarma Corporation: Carti-Flex Horse Supplement Recalled for Missing BSE Cautionary Statement

Agency Publication Date: July 20, 2004

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Interfarma Corporation has recalled 20 containers (5 lb. each) of Carti-Flex COMPLEX horse supplement because the packaging is missing a mandatory safety warning. The label fails to state 'Do Not Feed to Cattle or Other Ruminants,' which is a legal requirement to prevent the spread of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). This supplement was distributed as a promotional item in late 2004 to various farm and feed stores. Because this is an older recall and specific remedy instructions were not provided in the original notice, owners should contact their veterinarian or the manufacturer regarding any remaining product.

Risk

The missing warning label increases the risk that this horse supplement could be mistakenly fed to cattle or other ruminant animals. Feeding certain animal-derived proteins to ruminants is prohibited to prevent the transmission of BSE (commonly known as 'Mad Cow Disease').

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the product by checking for a 5 lb. plastic container of 'Carti-Flex COMPLEX' natural joint supplement with a yellow, green, red, and brown label.
  2. Check the label for the manufacturer name 'INTERFARMA, CORP. Miami, FL USA' and Recall # V-116-4.
  3. Verify if the required statement 'Do Not Feed to Cattle or Other Ruminants' is present on the packaging.
  4. Immediately stop using the product if it is intended for or could be accessed by cattle, sheep, goats, or other ruminant animals.
  5. Contact your veterinarian for guidance or contact Interfarma Corporation at their Miami, Florida headquarters regarding this recall.
  6. For further questions or to report concerns, contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
