Cargill recalls meatbird feed
News · July 17, 2014


Cargill announced on its Web site that it is conducting a voluntary recall of Nutrena NatureWise Meatbird feed in 40-pound bags due to excess levels of sodium.




The affected products were manufactured at Cargill's facility in West Branch on April 28, 2014, and distributed in Iowa, Illinois and possibly Missouri.

"Sodium is an essential nutrient for poultry," reads the press release. "However, excess levels of sodium in diets for meatbirds may result in pulmonary hypertension, increased mortality, reduced growth rate, increased water consumption, wet droppings, and wet litter.

"Consumption of the affected feeds may have contributed to poultry illness and death. Customers should call their veterinarian if their animals have experienced adverse health effects while consuming the affected product."

The Lot Code for the product is 5941181016, and the number can be found printed on the bottom left corner of the product tag attached to the bottom of the bag.
