Riverside Grain & Feed Co: Bulk Swine Feed Recalled for Potential Dioxin Contamination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Riverside Grain & Feed Co is recalling approximately 25 tons of Bulk Medicated Custom Mix Feed for Swine containing 50 g/ton carbadox. The recall was initiated because the zinc oxide raw material used in the feed may have contained elevated levels of dioxin, a hazardous chemical contaminant. This bulk feed was distributed to four specific feeder/growers in Iowa in April 2003. Since this was a custom bulk mix, owners should immediately verify their recent feed deliveries and contact the manufacturer to arrange for proper handling of the affected product.

Risk

The feed may contain elevated levels of dioxins, which are environmental pollutants that can accumulate in the fatty tissues of animals. Consumption of contaminated feed can pose long-term health risks to livestock and potentially enter the human food chain through animal products.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have 'Bulk Medicated Custom Mix Feed for Swine containing 50 g/ton carbadox' (Recall # V-048-3) delivered around April 2003.
  2. Immediately stop using the affected bulk feed for your swine and isolate any remaining inventory from other feed supplies.
  3. Contact Riverside Grain & Feed Co at 130 E 1st Street, Riverside, Iowa, or via PO Box 158, to report your inventory and receive instructions on product return or disposal.
  4. If your livestock have already consumed this feed, contact your veterinarian for guidance on animal health and food safety protocols.
  5. Call the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002 for additional information or questions regarding this recall.
