Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Land O Lakes Inc has recalled 20 bags of 3-Nitro 20 (roxarsone) Type-A Medicated Article, a veterinary feed additive. This recall was initiated because the product was illegally shipped to a feed mill in Ohio that did not possess the required license to handle this medicated article. Each affected bag weighs 50 pounds and contains the active ingredient 3-Nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (roxarsone) at a 20% concentration.

Risk

The distribution of Type-A medicated articles to unlicensed facilities bypasses critical regulatory oversight intended to ensure the safe and accurate mixing of animal drugs into livestock feed. While no specific animal illnesses or injuries have been reported, the use of such concentrated drugs by unlicensed mills can lead to improper dosing or administration to livestock.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the product by checking for 50-lb bags labeled as '3-Nitro 20, Roxarsone Type-A Medicated Article' with recall number v-002-4.
  2. Check the active ingredient list for '3-Nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (roxarsone) 20%'.
  3. If you are a feed mill operator or livestock producer who received this specific shipment, stop using the product immediately and secure any remaining inventory.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or a veterinarian for guidance regarding any animals that may have consumed feed mixed with this product.
  5. Return any unused bags to the place of purchase or contact Land O Lakes Inc at their Washington Courthouse, Ohio location for return instructions and refund information.
  6. For further questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 240-402-7002.
