Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pilgrim's Pride Corp has recalled approximately 630,000 pounds of Pilgrim's Pride Breeder - Lay with Aureomycin (CTC) Chicken Feed. The product was found to contain the antibiotic Chlortetracycline Aureomycin (CTC) despite being incorrectly labeled as containing a different medication, Tylosin. This recall was initiated after the labeling error was discovered, affecting distribution in Texas since late 2008.

Risk

Using a feed with the incorrect medication can lead to improper treatment of livestock. While the risk is classified as low, administering the wrong antibiotic could result in ineffective disease management for the birds or unexpected medication levels.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed storage or inventory records for Pilgrim's Pride Breeder - Lay with Aureomycin (CTC) Chicken Feed associated with Recall #V-255-2009.
  2. Identify the product by checking the labels for the mention of 'Tylosin'—if the product is actually Aureomycin (CTC) but labeled as Tylosin, it is part of this recall.
  3. Stop using the affected feed immediately if you require Tylosin-medicated feed for your flock.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or a livestock health professional to discuss any concerns regarding the switch in antibiotic medications for your birds.
  5. Contact Pilgrim's Pride Corp at their facility located at Hwy 59 South, Tenaha, TX 75974, or contact your distributor for instructions on returning the product for a refund or replacement.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
