Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Zoetis Inc. has recalled approximately 1,280 bags of Bio-Cox Granular 60 (salinomycin sodium) Type A Medicated Article, a veterinary additive used in animal feed. The recall was initiated because the product failed stability testing, meaning it may not maintain its expected potency or quality through its shelf life. This specific recall affects 50-pound bags distributed in five states: Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia.

Risk

A stability failure indicates the medication may not work as intended, which can lead to ineffective treatment or prevention of disease in the animals consuming the medicated feed.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking the label for 'Bio-Cox Granular 60 Alpharma Brand of salinomycin sodium Type A Medicated Article' in 50 LB bags with NADA # 128-686.

  3. Immediately stop using and isolate any product matching these lot numbers to ensure it is not mixed into animal feed.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or animal health professional to discuss the impact of using product that may have reduced potency.
