Rangen Inc. is recalling various aquaculture and shrimp feeds because they were manufactured using a binder ingredient (Aqua Tec II) contaminated with melamine, an unapproved additive. The recall affects feeds sold in 25-pound bags, 50-pound bags, and bulk quantities ranging from 1 to 22 tons. These products were distributed to 213 customers across the United States, including fisheries, hatcheries, and research laboratories.
Melamine is an unapproved feed additive that can be harmful to animals if ingested in significant quantities, potentially leading to kidney issues. While the agency has classified this as a low-risk event, the contamination occurred because a raw material from another manufacturer was tainted before being used in the finished fish and shrimp feed.
Full refund upon return.
