Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Premium Nutritional Products Inc. has voluntarily recalled approximately 60,724 units of ZuPreem FruitBlend bird food because the products contain dangerously high levels of calcium. The recall affects specific batches of daily food intended for medium to large parrots, including Conures, Amazons, Greys, Macaws, and Cockatoos. These products were distributed in various weights ranging from 2-pound pouches to 35-pound bulk bags and were sold in 28 states across the U.S.

Risk

Elevated calcium levels in bird food can lead to serious health complications for parrots, including kidney damage or metabolic issues. While no specific injuries are mentioned in this data, the critical risk level indicates the potential for severe health impacts if the birds consume these specific lot numbers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bird food packaging for 'ZuPreem FruitBlend with Natural Fruit Flavors' intended for medium, large, or extra-large parrots (such as Conures, Amazons, Greys, Macaws, and Cockatoos).
  2. Verify the Lot Number and UPC. For medium to large parrots, look for Lot 598405052 with UPCs 762177830209 (2 lbs), 762177830308 (3.5 lbs), 762177831206 (12 lbs), 762177831701 (17.5 lbs), or 762177833507 (35 lbs).
  3. For Macaws and Cockatoos, look for Lot 598405072 with UPCs 762177840208 (2 lbs), 762177840307 (3.5 lbs), 762177841205 (12 lbs), 76211841700 (17.5 lbs), or 762177843506 (35 lbs).
  4. Confirm if the expiration date matches November 30, 2013, or simply November 2013 for the bulk paper bags.
  5. If you have an affected product, stop using it immediately and do not feed it to your birds.
  6. Return the unused portion of the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Premium Nutritional Products Inc. at their Shawnee, Kansas headquarters for further instructions.
