Kalmbach Feeds Inc: Herman Prefresh Complete Pel Feed Recalled for Carbadox Contamination

Agency Publication Date: January 25, 2010

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 2 tons of Herman Prefresh Complete Pel dairy feed have been recalled because a single load of medicated swine feed was accidentally shipped instead. The mislabeled shipment contained carbadox, a medication intended for swine that should not be present in dairy cattle feed. This feed was delivered on November 18, 2009, to a farm in Ohio and mistakenly labeled as complete dairy feed. Because this is a veterinary product, owners should contact their veterinarian regarding any animals that consumed the feed.

Risk

The dairy feed contains carbadox, a drug approved only for swine; exposure to dairy cattle can lead to illegal drug residues in food products and potential animal health complications.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected feed by checking for Herman Prefresh Complete Pel, Product number 324TH, delivered on November 18, 2009, under Order number 456285 02.
  2. Immediately stop using the affected feed and segregate it from other animal supplies to prevent further accidental use.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or animal health professional if your livestock have consumed this specific load of feed.
  4. Contact Kalmbach Feeds Inc at their Upper Sandusky, Ohio facility to arrange for the return or proper disposal of any remaining product from this shipment.
  5. For additional information or to report concerns, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 240-402-7002.
