Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lakeland Animal Nutrition, Inc. has recalled 89 bags of Signature brand FEP-862S Q STATUS PELLET FORMULA, a 50 lb maintenance and light exercise horse feed. The recall was initiated because the product may contain monensin, an ionophore medication typically used in cattle and poultry feed but which is highly toxic to horses. Affected products were distributed in Florida and consist of 50 lb paper bags that are poly-lined and sewn at both ends. Consumers who have purchased this specific lot should immediately stop using the feed and return any unused bags to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The presence of monensin in horse feed is critical as horses are extremely sensitive to this substance; ingestion can lead to heart damage, respiratory distress, muscle weakness, and death. No specific injuries were reported in this data, but the risk to equine health is severe.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your horse feed bags for 'Signature brand FEP-862S Q STATUS PELLET FORMULA Pelleted Maintenance & Light Exercise Ration' in 50 lb bags.
  2. Verify the identification details on the packaging: look for Lot Number 14-280 with a Manufacture Date of October 7.
  3. Stop using this feed immediately if it matches the recalled lot number and manufacture date.
  4. Return any unused 50 lb bags of the affected feed to the retail location where they were purchased for a full refund.
  5. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your horse has consumed this product and shows signs of illness, such as weakness, rapid heart rate, or difficulty breathing.
