Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 10,547,760 units of various Rangen, Inc. aquaculture fish feeds, including trout, salmon, and shrimp varieties, are being recalled due to the use of an ingredient contaminated with melamine and its analogs. These custom feeds were distributed in 25 lb. bags, 50 lb. bags, and bulk quantities across 14 states between June 2007 and April 2008. If you have purchased these feeds for your aquaculture operations, you should verify the recall numbers on your packaging or invoices immediately.

Risk

The fish feed was manufactured using ingredients contaminated with melamine, which can cause illness or toxicity in fish and potentially enter the food chain through aquatic life intended for human consumption.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the packaging or purchase records for the specific product name and recall number, such as Shrimp 35/0 (V-407-2007) or Trout & Salmon feed (V-404-2007).
  2. Confirm if your product matches one of the 18 affected varieties, including Extr 42/15, Shrimp 30/0, or Trout Grower, manufactured at the Angleton, Texas facility.
  3. Stop using the affected fish feed immediately to prevent further exposure to your aquatic livestock.
  4. Return any unused portion of the feed to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Rangen, Inc. for further instructions regarding disposal and reimbursement.
