Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 21 bags (50 pounds each) of custom horse feed manufactured by MFA Inc. are being recalled because the product is misbranded and contaminated with monensin and sulfamethazine. Monensin is highly toxic to horses even in small amounts, and this specific contamination has already resulted in two horse deaths. The affected feed was distributed to a single customer in Holden, Missouri, and features labels listing West Central AgriServices in Chilhowee, Missouri as the responsible firm. If you possess this custom feed, you should immediately contact your veterinarian and return any remaining product for a refund.

Risk

The feed contains monensin and sulfamethazine, substances that are toxic to horses; monensin in particular causes rapid heart muscle damage and organ failure in equines. Two horse deaths have already been linked to the consumption of this contaminated feed.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your feed bags for a custom horse feed label identifying 'West Central AgriServices Chilhowee, Missouri 64733' as the responsible firm.
  2. Locate the lot number on the packaging and confirm if it matches lot number 10899.
  3. Stop using the feed immediately if it matches the description and lot number provided.
  4. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your horse has consumed this feed or is showing signs of illness.
  5. Return any unused portions of the 50-pound bags to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact MFA Inc. at their Columbia, Missouri location for further instructions.
  6. Call the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002 for additional questions or to report animal illnesses.
