Approximately 155,150 pounds of Zinc Oxide baghouse dust have been recalled because the product is contaminated with dioxin. This material, a by-product of brass production, was shipped in white Gore-Tex bags weighing between 1,200 and 2,000 pounds. The dust was distributed to Westmin Corp. in Quincy, Illinois, for use in manufacturing vitamin and mineral premixes for animal feed. Because the bags are not labeled, it is critical for anyone in the supply chain to identify this material by its specific packaging and source.
The product is contaminated with dioxin, a toxic chemical that can accumulate in the food chain. If used in animal feed, it poses a risk of contaminating livestock and the resulting food products, potentially leading to long-term health issues for animals and humans who consume those products.
