FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 16, 2014 - The Purina Animal Nutrition LLC feed plant in Portland, Ore., has initiated a limited recall of certain poultry feeds due to the potential for lower-than-expected vitamin and trace mineral levels. The products were distributed to retailers in Oregon and Washington.

Inadequate vitamin and trace mineral levels can result in health problems, including mortality, in poultry. No customer complaints have been received to date.

The products and lot numbers involved in the recall are:

Thanks for posting this. This is not the first time this has happened with this company. Purina, Dumor are both brands owned by Land O' Lakes Purina Feed LLC. Limited Liability Companies producing feed is never a good thing. It is best to boycott companies such as these by not purchasing their products. People should demand expiration dates on labels too. A friend of mine is part owner a food tracer company. They have the ability to test origins and the amount of nutritional content in feed. Lots of skullduggery going on these days. France also recently acted against the importation of American GMO corn.

Purina is never looking out for the health of the animals. All they care about is money. Would never feed a Purina product!

Thanks for posting this, I ended up having two bags that were recalled. A couple of my hens started laying rubber eggs. I went with nutrena organic feed. And their layer that I wish was Organic.
My retailer wasn't notified while I was there the manager got someone pulling them off the selves.

right after I bought my first bag of Dumor I found a dealer for Hiland Naturals near me, thank goodness! Going non-gmo and ditching Purina, who claims right on their website that cross breeding plants to produce hybrids is the same thing as gmo. Dirtbags!

Not snarking, just asking: Why do you say that?

Here is a link to the recall information posted at the Purina Mills website ...
http://purinamills.com/news/recall-notices/purina-animal-nutrition-llc-recalls-poultry-feeds/

Here is a link to the "All Products" page of the poultry section of that same Purina Mills website ... http://www.prairielandfs.com/feed/Documents/Home Grown Layer 16.pdf

Note the absence of some of the recalled products on this "All Products" list?

Now ... I've recently written to the sales reps for Purina directly and asked them specifically tell me ALL the products that Purina Mills manufactures, and they just refer me to the link I've posted above. I'm in the Portland, Oregon area ... the manufacturing plant responsible for the mess up is in Portland. SO ... frustration with Purina at a pretty basic level.
