Ridley Block Operations: Rothe Sheep Mix Supplement Recalled for Excessive Copper Levels

Agency Publication Date: October 8, 2019

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ridley Block Operations is recalling 80 bags of Rothe Sheep Mix, a sheep feedlot supplement, because a retain sample tested for excessive levels of copper at 428 ppm. The recall affects 50-lb bags of the supplement that were distributed to a single customer in Colorado. This excessive copper concentration can lead to serious health issues in sheep, which are highly sensitive to copper intake. Consumers should stop using the affected feed immediately and return it for a full refund.

Risk

Sheep are uniquely susceptible to copper poisoning because their livers store copper more readily than other livestock; high levels like the 428 ppm found in this feed can cause sudden liver failure, destruction of red blood cells, and death.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by looking for 50-lb bags labeled 'Rothe Sheep Mix, Sheep Feedlot Supplement'.
  2. Check the bag for the specific identifying code BO1503475 and Recall Number V-0218-2020.
  3. Stop using the supplement immediately and ensure it is kept out of reach of sheep and other livestock.
  4. Return the affected 50-lb bags to the place of purchase to receive a full refund.
  5. Contact Ridley Block Operations at their Mankato, Minnesota headquarters for further instructions regarding this recall.
  6. For additional questions or to report animal health issues related to this feed, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
