Subject: PURINA RECALLS HORSEFEEDS
I think it is important for all horse owners to know that Purina has issued two massive recalls this month affecting almost their entire horse feed product line. This recall was not made available to the general public. Notices went to the dealers directly. It is unconscionable that they have made no effort contact the end users. On 4/9 they recalled 27 equine products, including senior and the platformline. On 4/21 they recalled another 18 products. The problem is Aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are toxic and one of the most carcinogenic substances known. They can cause liver disfunction, immune suppression,and neurological difficulties.
Please share this information with your horse keeping friends. It seems that the only way this information is going to get out, is among ourselves. The way this has been handled by Purina is irresponsible and
unacceptable.
