Kerber Milling Co: Various Animal Supplements and Feeds Recalled for Elevated Dioxin Levels

Agency Publication Date: May 2, 2003

Summary

Kerber Milling Co is recalling a wide range of livestock feeds, supplements, and premixes, including Kreycik Elk Supplement, Dynamite Starter, and various medicated cattle and swine feeds sold in bulk or 50-lb bags. The recall was initiated because trace mineral products and zinc oxide used to manufacture these animal feeds contained elevated levels of dioxin. While no injuries have been reported, dioxin is a toxic contaminant that can pose health risks to animals and potentially enter the human food chain through livestock.

Risk

The animal feed contains elevated levels of dioxins, which are environmental pollutants that can cause reproductive, developmental, and immune system damage in animals. These toxins can accumulate in the tissues of animals consumed by humans, presenting a long-term public health concern.

What You Should Do

Check your inventory for any Kerber Milling Co. products, specifically looking for 50-lb bags or bulk delivery receipts labeled with product names such as Kreycik Elk Supplement, Dynamite Starter, or various 'Phy' and 'L-Series' swine premixes.
Identify affected items by the recall numbers listed on your purchase records, including series V-210-3 through V-258-3.
Immediately stop using any of the recalled feed or supplements for your livestock or elk.
Dispose of any remaining product in a manner that ensures it cannot be consumed by animals or contact your supplier to arrange for its return.
Contact Kerber Milling Co at their Emmetsburg, Iowa facility or your specific distributor, such as Lee's Feed & Farm Supply in Fairfax, MN, for further instructions on disposal and potential credit.
Consult a veterinarian if your animals have consumed these products and show unusual health symptoms.
For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for your region or the general FDA hotline at 1-888-463-6332.
