Tennessee Farmers Cooperative: Zipper 25-50 MX Swine Feed Recalled for Missing Medicated Component

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tennessee Farmers Cooperative has recalled 106 bags of Co-op Zipper 25-50 MX (Item# 553) swine feed in 50-pound bags. The recall was initiated because laboratory analysis found that the product did not contain Carbadox, the medicated component that is supposed to be in the feed. Without this active ingredient, the feed is sub-therapeutic and will not provide the intended medicinal benefits to the swine. These products were distributed in Tennessee starting in August 2003.

Risk

Swine receiving this feed will not receive the necessary medication (Carbadox) required for their health management. This lack of active ingredient can lead to untreated health conditions in the animals and potential economic loss for producers who are relying on the feed's medicated properties.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking your inventory for 50-pound bags labeled 'Co-op Zipper 25-50 MX' with Item# 553.
  2. Immediately stop using these specific bags of feed for your livestock.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or livestock specialist to discuss alternative treatment or feeding plans for your swine if they have been consuming this non-medicated feed.
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Tennessee Farmers Cooperative at 214 Ragland Rd, Jackson, TN 38305 for further instructions.
  5. For additional questions regarding this recall, you may contact the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
