Purina Mills, Llc: Animal Feed Recalled for Potential Sulfamethazine Contamination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Purina Mills, Llc has recalled 10,860 pounds of Purina CU NE Maxi-Ext Ransom Complete (1H9Y), a non-medicated animal feed, because it may be contaminated with sulfamethazine. Approximately 10 units of the product were shipped directly to a dairy farmer in Pennsylvania. Because this is a non-medicated feed, the presence of sulfamethazine is an unapproved and unintended drug contaminant. Consumers who use this product should stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer for further guidance.

Risk

Sulfamethazine is a sulfonamide antibiotic; its unintended presence in non-medicated animal feed can lead to drug residues in food products like milk or meat and may pose a health risk to animals sensitive to this medication.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate any remaining bags or bulk quantities of Purina CU NE Maxi-Ext Ransom Complete with product code 1H9Y and Recall Number V-217-4.
  2. Immediately stop using the affected feed for livestock and ensure it is kept separate from other non-medicated feed supplies.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or a veterinarian for guidance if you believe your livestock have been adversely affected by this contaminated feed.
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund or contact Purina Mills, Llc at their Saint Louis office to discuss disposal or replacement instructions.
  5. Contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002 for additional questions regarding this recall.
