FDA classifies animal feed recall as class II risk over metal contamination

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a recall of five animal feed products as a class II risk due to potential metal contamination. The recall, initiated by Kreamer Feed, Inc. on October 14, includes four pig feeds and one guinea fowl feed. The specific metals involved have not been disclosed. The FDA's classification indicates that exposure may cause temporary health issues, but serious consequences are unlikely. This recall follows a recent incident where 15 animal feed products were recalled for excess minerals. Heavy metals can accumulate in animals and potentially affect humans through the food chain. The FDA emphasizes the importance of a safe animal feed supply for both animal and human health.
