Just wanted to pass along an email I received about a Purina Feed Recall. I was also wondering why they would just send the email to dealers and not try to pass it along to consumers???

Purina has recalled several horse products including Senior. She contacted her feed store and they confirmed. I haven’t as yet but will. According to the email, the recall was not made available to the general public!! Notices went to the dealers directly. On 4/9 they recalled 27 equine products inc. Senior and Platformline. On 4/21 they recalled another 18 products. The problem is Aflatoxins which can cause liver dysfunction, immune suppression and neurological difficulties.>>

Took me 40+ minutes to get through....
I sent an inquiry by email yesterday, but I haven't gotten a response. By phone, this morning, this is what I found out.
I called Purina Horse Feeds.
The recalled products are from these 3 East Coast Plants:
Guilderland, NY; Harrisburg, PA; Statesville, NC
The mfg plant codes are: GDL, HAR, STA If these codes are on your feed bags, stop feeding and contact your dealer NOW.
I did not bother to get a list of products or the particulars.
Purina Phone number is: 1-800-227-8941
Essentially, west of Ohio, Tenn, Ky, Mississippi, should all be okay.
This is the list of products, but only if from the GDL, HAR, STA plant
