Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Land O Lakes Purina LLC has recalled 120 bags of DuMor Sheep Formula (50 lb) because the feed may contain potentially toxic levels of copper. Sheep are uniquely sensitive to copper, and consuming feed with elevated levels can lead to severe illness or death. The affected product was distributed exclusively in Florida and is identified by a specific lot number and formula code. Owners should stop using the feed immediately and return any remaining bags to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Excessive copper consumption in sheep causes copper toxicity, a condition that leads to the rapid destruction of red blood cells and severe liver damage. This condition is often fatal for sheep as their bodies cannot efficiently excrete excess copper.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed bags to see if they are 'DuMor Sheep Formula' in 50 lb (22.67kg) paper bags.
  2. Locate the identification codes on the packaging: look for Item # 0047317 and Formula No. 55.
  3. Verify the lot number on the bag; only Lot Number 4NOV28LCK1 is included in this recall.
  4. If you have the affected lot, stop feeding it to your sheep immediately.
  5. Return any unused bags of the recalled feed to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  6. Monitor your sheep for signs of copper poisoning, such as yellowing of the eyes or gums (jaundice), lethargy, or dark-colored urine, and contact a veterinarian immediately if these symptoms appear.
  7. For more information or questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
