Approximately 3 tons of Purina Precon Complete AS 70 Medicated Type C Medicated Feed for starter feedlot cattle are being recalled. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture found that the feed, which is labeled to contain 70 g/ton of the antibiotic chlortetracycline (CTC), actually contained 807 g/ton. This significantly higher concentration of medication was distributed to one dealer in Nebraska in early 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected feed and return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
The feed contains over 11 times the labeled amount of chlortetracycline (CTC), which may lead to adverse health effects in cattle or potential residues in meat if withdrawal times are not adjusted for the higher dosage.
Return to the dealer for a refund.
