Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Land O Lakes Purina LLC is recalling 618,114 units of various medicated pheasant, turkey, broiler, and chick feeds due to a formulation error where Vitamin D was entirely omitted from the products. The recall involves multiple brands including Purina, DuMor, and Land O Lakes across several product types like 'Honor Show Chow' and 'Chick Starter.' Affected products were distributed across 28 states between May and July 2012. Owners should return the affected feed to their place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The total absence of Vitamin D in these feeds can lead to serious health issues in developing birds, including metabolic bone disease, rickets, and poor growth. Without this essential nutrient, birds cannot properly absorb calcium and phosphorus, leading to weak or deformed bones and potentially death.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed bags for the following brand names: Land O Lakes, Purina Honor Show Chow, DuMor, Purina Diamond Milling, Purina Privett, and Purina TurkeyMax.
  2. Verify the specific Item Numbers or UPC codes on your packaging, such as Land O Lakes Pheasant Starter (Item # 1125000-301), Purina Honor Show Chow Broiler (UPC 8 83576 01124 9), or DuMor Chick Starter (UPC 7 49394 05739 8).
  3. Inspect the Lot Codes printed on the bag to see if they match affected batches, such as 2MAY23MFI1, 2JUN13MFI1, 2JUL11MFI3, or 2JUL18NST1A1 (refer to the full list for specific product lot matches).
  4. Immediately stop using the affected feed and safely dispose of it or quarantine it to ensure birds do not have further access to it.
  5. Return the unused portion of any affected feed to the retailer where it was purchased for a full refund.
  6. If your birds have consumed this feed and are showing signs of weakness or bone issues, contact your veterinarian for guidance.
  7. For additional questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
