Summary

Melick Aquafeed has recalled approximately 100 tons of its 28% Catfish Feed because it was manufactured using corn that contains Aflatoxin levels above the legal limit. This recall affects bulk feed distributed in Arkansas and Texas starting in October 2011. Consumers who purchased this specific catfish feed should immediately stop using it and return it to their place of purchase for a full refund.
