Summary

Purina Animal Nutrition Feed LLC has recalled 9,875 pounds of PURINA COMMERCIAL STARTER BASE 1200 swine feed after testing revealed the presence of monensin, a substance that is toxic to pigs. One customer reported that 100 out of 2,000 pigs died after consuming the final feed mixture. The affected product was manufactured on December 21, 2015, and distributed to a single customer in Nebraska.

Risk

Monensin is a medication that, while used in some livestock species, is highly toxic to swine. Consuming this contaminated starter base can lead to rapid illness and death in pigs, as evidenced by the reported 100 fatalities.
