Land O’Lakes Purina Feed LLC has initiated a voluntary recall of specific lots of Purina® feed products listed below, due to the potential for elevated vitamin D levels. Elevated vitamin D levels may cause death or otherwise be harmful to animals and fish if fed for extended periods, potentially resulting in lack of interest in eating, weight loss and possible joint stiffness.
Although no customer complaints have been received to date, the following products with specific lot numbers are being recalled as a precaution, due to analytical test results on retained samples that indicate a potential for elevated levels of vitamin D.
The products were manufactured at the Richmond, IN feed plant and were distributed nationwide starting April 2, 2012 through May 8, 2012. Dealers have been contacted and asked to hold these products and to notify and retrieve the product from customers. The affected product should not be used, and where applicable, be returned to the retail dealer.
