Huge feed recall due to mammalian protein

by Pete Hisey on 8/8/2006 for Meatingplace.com

The Food and Drug Administration announced two recalls, one for 27 million pounds of feed produced in Michigan and the other an unknown amount of feed produced in Kentucky. Both were suspected of being adulterated with ruminant or mammalian protein, including ruminant meat and bone meal in the second recall.

Vita Plus Corp., Gagetown, Mich., has recalled 27,694,240 pounds of dairy feed produced between February of 2005 and June 16, 2006, because it is believed it was contaminated with mammalian protein. The feed was distributed in Michigan and the recall is complete.

Burkmann Feeds LLC, Glasgow, Ky., has recalled an unknown amount of custom feed because it contains an ingredient called Pro-Lak, which may contain ruminant-derived meat and bone meal. The Burkmann feed was distributed in Kentucky.

Well Oldtimer, here's an example of the US's stellar feed ban. I wouldn't bring it up but you and your R-Laff cronies continually point at Canada's failings in an attempt to further bury Canadian producers so I want to make sure you have the opportunity to do the same to your fellow US ranchers. R-Calf being a "national org" genuinely concerned with food safety and all. :roll:

Notice the date goes back to feed produced in Februrary '05 so we know damned well they won't get it back. That is pobably why that recall is now mysteriosly complete. :lol: :lol: :lol:

In the Kentucky recall they don't even know how much was contaminated feed was produced.
