Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC: Horse Feed Recalled Due to Elevated Aflatoxin Levels

Agency Publication Date: July 9, 2008

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC has recalled approximately 13,522 bags of various horse feed products, including Country Acres and Purina brands, because they were found to contain aflatoxin above acceptable levels. These 50 lb bags were distributed across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Owners of horses should immediately stop using these specific feeds and return them for a refund.

Risk

Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring toxin produced by certain molds that can grow on grains; consuming feed with elevated levels can cause aflatoxin poisoning, which may lead to liver damage, illness, or death in horses and other livestock.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed bags for the following specific product names: Country Acres Horse Sweet 10 (Recall #: V-212-2008), Country Acres Horse Pellet 12 (Recall #: V-213-2008), Purina Equine Senior (Recall #: V-214-2008), or Horse Chow #100 (Recall #: V-215-2008).
  2. Confirm if your product is a 50 lb bag and check the label for manufacturing origins from Statesville, North Carolina, or Brentwood, Missouri, as specified for the Country Acres Horse Pellet 12.
  3. Stop feeding any of the affected products to your horses immediately to prevent potential toxin exposure.
  4. Return any remaining bags of recalled feed to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Contact your veterinarian if your horse has consumed these products and shows signs of illness, such as lethargy or loss of appetite.
  6. For additional questions or to report concerns, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
