Animal Feed Recall 2020: How To Get A Refund

Purina Animal Nutrition has issued a recall for several lots of Purina Rabbit Feed, Purina Turkey Feed, Country Acres Rabbit Feed, and DuMOR Chick Starter/Grower Feed. The animal food was recalled because it may have elevated levels of calcium., which can cause health issues and potential death in animals.

Elevated calcium carbonate levels in rabbits can result in health issues or death while feeding the food to young chickens and turkeys can lead to leg abnormalities and kidney calcification. Purina said continued feeding of the food can result in death due to feed refusal with symptoms in rabbits, including pinkish urine and lethargy due to decreased food intake.

The affected animal feed was produced from Dec. 16, 2019 to Feb. 3. The recalled food was sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota, Florida, Virginia, North Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, California, West Virginia, Texas, Hawaii, and Arizona.

The recalled DuMOR food was sold through the Tractor Supply Company. Lot numbers of the feed can be found on the sewing strip of each bag. A full list of recalled animal food and their lables can be viewed here.
