This is a cross post and upon further searching is not correct but I am not altering the OP

This goes back several months, and I thin was discussed here. LOTS of different products, lots of different batches. It is and was a big ol' mess with Purina, IMHO, coming out looking like a total loser - another nail in their coffin as far as I'm concerned.

They spent far too long firstly denying it was an issue, and once they decided to own up to it, they were very lax in letting distributors know about the problem.

Where does it say what feeds and/or batches were involved though?

All I'm seeing is what feeds Purina manufactures. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

[Dawn]

Ahh, thank you JB. Thankfully none of those are even things I would consider feeding to begin with.

I'm not sure off the top of my head which mill our store gets their feed from though. I could just ask them right?

[Tami]

Wow! This is so disturbing! Not sure what else to say. I have been tempted in the past to change feeds because Buckeye is so expensive here-but I think I will just stick to what I'm doing. Certainly won't be in a hurry to buy their rpoducts.
