Approximately 1,080,467 units of various Zeigler brand shrimp feeds, prawn grower, and fish pellets are being recalled because they contain a feed ingredient called AquaBond that was found to contain melamine. These products, many of which were custom-made for specific customers, were distributed in bulk or in containers ranging from 40 to 55 pounds. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the binder used in the feed was contaminated with melamine, a chemical that is not approved for use in animal feed. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected feed and return it for a full refund.
The feed contains melamine, a chemical that can cause serious health issues or toxicity in aquatic animals and potentially enter the food chain. While the risk level is currently classified as low, the substance is an unapproved additive that does not belong in animal nutrition products.
Full refund for returned product
