Dog food bought off 'give and take' sites around Joplin could make your pets sick
November 5, 2018 - Yesterday, the Joplin Police Department (JPD) posted the following on their facebook page
"A local company discarded a large amount of dog food that had a microbe issue
as part of their effective quality control measures. All would have been well. But, persons then went onto their property and took the bad dog food and began selling
it on Facebook and at a local truck stop parking lot for a reduced price. The company contacted us of the issues. Last night, our dept contacted 5 people selling it
at Flying J and seized two truck loads of it for destruction by the company. We tell you all this so that if you or someone you know bought the dog food at a truck stop
or other random place, you should simply throw it away. The company says it could cause dogs to get sick, which is why it never reached the store shelves.
We weren’t disclosing the brand name because we explained how it was being sold and other details and thought that was sufficient. But to clear the confusion and questions
the affected brand was Ol Roy. This only applies to Ol Roy sold on Facebook and parking lots and odd places last few days. Ol Roy that made it to store shelves was company
tested and cleared."
We also found a
KNS news report posted yesterday at 7:20am on facebook with an image of the product. If you suspect you have purchased some of this bad dog food please do not feed it to your pets and contact the JPD.

FDA Warns Two Firms about Monensin Contamination in Horse Feed
October 17, 2018 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued warning letters to two feed mills, Gilman Co-Op Creamery in Gilman, Minnesota, and
Farmers/Ranchers Cooperative Association of Ainsworth in Ainsworth, Nebraska, that mixed horse feed containing monensin. Monensin is an animal drug approved
for use in cattle, swine, and poultry that is highly toxic and potentially lethal to horses, even at relatively low levels.
These firms did not adhere to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements for medicated feed mills. They are also subject to FDA’s Preventive Controls
for Animal Food regulations. The medicated feed CGMPs require firms to conduct appropriate sequencing or adequate equipment cleanout procedures when switching from
mixing a medicated animal food to a non-medicated one. These regulations are designed to prevent unsafe cross-contamination between medicated feed and non-medicated
feed or other medicated feed.
