Steel wool pieces in oyster shell

[GinaNew York]

I just spoke with the quality control at Manna Pro. The girl was lovely and said they use the steel wool to clean the oyster shells. Obviously, something was aged and broke off the machine it would seem. She's sending some small 5 pound bags from a "different vendor" - so this makes me think that the same vendor supplies 50 lb bags to different companies. I am now running my fingers through all of the shells before I fill up the holder since the Coastal had some, but minute compared to Manna Pro from TS. Something's up they are definitely aware of - be careful and check before you feed it.

I’ve had my current bag since about February. They won’t do anything since it’s been so long.

Call the company directly and they jyst might give uou coupons or a refund

Please use a magnet to inspect the product as well as spreading it out and looking at it closely.

No need to get a sliver and end up with a tetanus shot.

Hardware disease is what it is called when your birds ingest metal bits. It can be and usually is fatal.

That sounds like it should be a RECALL !!!

Please if anyone finds this CALL THE COMPANY and demand that they do a recall.
I can't even imagine how many don't check the bag (I didn't ) and had hens die

I will be checking my bag in the morning !!

I think it depends how much and what kind they ate.

I use Pacific Pearl oyster shell. Nice quality and so far nothing funky. Now I will, out of paranoia, be using a magnet on mine.
