Ragland Mills Inc. has initiated a large-scale recall of approximately 144 different animal feed products, including mineral supplements, blocks, and premixes, because they were manufactured with zinc oxide containing elevated levels of dioxin. These products were sold under various brand names including Ragland, A&M Feeds, Veemin, Shawnee, and Nutrena. Dioxins are highly toxic chemical compounds that can accumulate in the food chain, specifically in animal fat, and eventually pose health risks to both the animals and the humans who consume products from those animals. These items were distributed across twelve states, primarily to agricultural centers and feed suppliers between March 2003 and October 2003.
The feeds contain elevated levels of dioxin, a persistent environmental pollutant that can lead to reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, and interfere with hormones in livestock. Prolonged exposure can cause dioxin to build up in the animal tissues, potentially entering the human food supply through meat, milk, or eggs.
Full refund for all recalled products.
