Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Melick Aquafeed is recalling approximately 300 tons of 28% Catfish Feed because it was manufactured using corn containing aflatoxin levels above the legal limit. This recall affects catfish feed distributed in Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas between October 2011 and early 2012. If you have purchased this specific catfish feed, you should immediately stop using it to feed your fish and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The feed contains Aflatoxin, a toxin produced by certain molds that can grow on corn and other grains. Consuming high levels of Aflatoxin can lead to illness or death in catfish, posing a significant risk to aquatic livestock health.
