Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Zephyr Feed Company has recalled approximately 17,840 pounds of unlabeled bulk cattle feed distributed to about 74 ranchers and farmers in Central and North Florida. The feed was found to contain protein that is prohibited for use in ruminant animal feed, which is a violation of safety regulations. This product was sold by weight to customers who picked up the feed directly from the manufacturer in Zephyrhills, Florida. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.

Risk

The feed contains animal proteins that are prohibited from being fed to ruminant animals like cattle. This regulation is in place to prevent the spread of diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).
