Summary

Approximately 2.1 million pounds of Pennitracin MD 50 G (bacitracin methylene disalicylate) Type A Medicated Article are being recalled. Stability testing at 24 months revealed that the medication does not meet the required potency specifications, meaning the product may not be effective in treating or preventing bacterial infections as intended. This product is a veterinary antibiotic used for manufacturing livestock and poultry feeds and was sold in 50-pound bags.

Risk

The reduced potency of this antibacterial medication may lead to ineffective treatment of infections in poultry and livestock. This could result in uncontrolled disease spread within animal populations or failure to achieve the desired therapeutic results.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the product by looking for 50-lb. bags of Pennitracin MD 50 G (Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate), Type A Medicated Article, NADA 141-137, with 'Distributed by Pennfield Animal Health' on the label.
  2. Review your inventory and manufacturing records to determine if any of your livestock or poultry feed was manufactured using this specific medicated article.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected medicated article for manufacturing feeds and quarantine any remaining stock.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or Pennfield Oil Co directly at their Omaha, Nebraska location to discuss the return of unused product and to receive further instructions regarding replacement or refund.
