Manna Pro Products, LLC, is voluntarily recalling a single lot (1006) of Family Farm Complete Horse 10 horse feed, UPC 0 95668 90151 6, packaged in 40 lb. bags. The product in question may contain monesin sodium, also known as Rumensin, and is predominantly sold in Oregon.
Monesin sodium is a medication approved for use in some livestock and poultry species but can be fatal to horses if consumed in high doses. The feed was sold January 11, 2011 through January 21, 2011 to retailers in California, Nevada and Oregon. Retailers who have received the product in question, have removed it from their shelves.
Initial testing has indicated the presence of a potentially harmful level of the substance in this single lot. At this time the limited recall only applies to this product and as of this writing, no illnesses or deaths have been reported.
We need oversight in human and animal feed and we needed it yesterday.
