Agency Publication Date: September 20, 2007

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 4,917,624 pounds of specialized feed binding agents, including Xtra-Bond, Aqua-Tec II, and Aquabond-CM, have been recalled. These products, used to manufacture pellets for livestock, fish, and shrimp, were found to contain melamine, an unapproved feed additive. The recall affects large quantities distributed in 50-pound bags and 25-kilogram containers across 16 states and Puerto Rico, as well as several international locations. Because these products were used in the production of animal feed, consumers and manufacturers should return any remaining product for a refund.

Risk

Melamine is an unapproved additive in animal feed. Its presence in these binding agents can lead to the contamination of feed intended for livestock and aquaculture, which may pose a health risk to the animals and potentially impact the safety of the food chain.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any of the affected binder products: Xtra-Bond All Purpose Pellet Binder (50 lbs), Aqua-Tec II Pellet Binder (25 kg), or Aquabond-CM (25 kg).
  2. Check your records or product labels for the following recall numbers: V-357-2007, V-358-2007, or V-359-2007.
  3. Stop using these binding agents immediately in any manufacturing or feeding operations.
  4. If you have manufactured feed using these binders, contact a veterinarian or animal health specialist to discuss the safety of the feed and the health of the animals that consumed it.
  5. Return any unused portions of the binders to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Uniscope Incorporated at their facility located at 310 West, South 1st Street, Johnstown, Colorado, 80534.
  6. For additional questions or concerns, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-888-463-6332.
