Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Rangen Inc is recalling approximately 9,997,976 pounds of custom dairy premix products distributed to 19 dairies. The products were manufactured using bulk blood meal that was cross-contaminated with prohibited meat and bone meal, and the product labels failed to include the required cautionary statement regarding Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). The recall includes various pellet and meal products such as MNM ALL PURPOSE Pellet, HILLSIDE/CDL Prot-Buffer Meal, and others sold in Idaho and Nevada.

Risk

The feed contains prohibited animal proteins that were not disclosed on the label and were cross-contaminated. This poses a potential health risk to cattle and violates safety regulations designed to prevent the spread of BSE through contaminated feed.
