Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mars Petcare US has recalled approximately 208,820 pounds of Bulk Whole Barley because the product may contain prohibited materials that were not listed on the label. This labeling omission means the product does not carry the necessary cautionary statements required for consumer safety. The affected barley was distributed specifically within the state of Texas.

Risk

The product lacks required cautionary statements regarding prohibited materials, which could lead to improper use or handling of the barley. Failure to provide these warnings poses a risk of regulatory non-compliance and potential safety hazards for animals or handlers depending on the nature of the prohibited material.
