Thank you for posting this!

Thanks Mo.
Makes me wonder a bit about some of the other Purina feeds.....my local feed store removed tags for stock locations for a couple other Purina chicken feed items about 2 months ago. They hadn't been able to get a delivery for several months.

thanks for letting me know. Of course that's what I feed my herd of rabbits

I've been feeding that rabbit feed for years. But back in October / November, my small locale feed store had rabbit feed .50 cents a bag cheaper than Tractor Supply. So I started buying their brand. It seemed to be a better feed and they are a lot closer. I guess I got lucky

Will go down and check my feed bad. Just brought a bag not long ago.

I'm going to be a grandma again!! My youngest son, who has 4 girls is expecting a BOY! So happy for them. It's been a journey for them..

Thanks for reporting this! I don't feed any of the affected products (no bunnies!) but it's good to know.
Any company can have a screw-up, and good companies get on it and make amends. It's the problems that aren't reported or found that are really bad.

I had the Dumor 20% chick starter had been feeding the lil chicks for two weeks now. Just returned it at Tractor supply they had no idea of the recall. They “checked” the computer as i stood there waiting and they said nope we got no notifications of such recall. I showed them the fda page from my phone and my bag that matched the affected feed so they said ok just go grab another one for an exchange or we can just give you a refund...but they kinda looked at me like i was crazy or something

I have heard that lots of recalls never get taken off the shelf at lots of stores
