Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ridley Block Operations has recalled 328 units of Ultralyx Nutritional Supplement 24% + 3% Mag Composite Block for Beef Cattle on Pasture. This recall was initiated because the 200-pound plastic tubs contain elevated levels of non-protein nitrogen, which have caused cattle deaths. These products were distributed to retailers and farms in Virginia and Tennessee.

Risk

The supplement contains excessive levels of non-protein nitrogen (urea), which can lead to urea poisoning in cattle. This condition is often fatal and has already resulted in reported cattle deaths.
