Farmers in 6 states told to stop using certain animal feed as FDA announces recall

A particular type of livestock feed has been recalled for having elevated or deficient levels of nutrients. 

ADM Animal Nutrition, headquartered in Illinois, is recalling 33 different lots of their pelleted animal products, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Wednesday.

Select products purchased from Jan. 16 to Feb. 27 sold in Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Iowa, Georgia and Ohio are impacted by the recall.

"They may contain elevated levels of copper or have levels of zinc below the represented amounts which could be harmful to cattle," said the announcement.

Some impacts of chronic toxicity are anorexia, abdominal pain, dehydration, diarrhea and depression.

In a statement sent to Fox News Digital, ADM Animal Nutrition said the issue has since been corrected, and they are working "diligently" to recall all product that has been impacted.

"ADM Animal Nutrition has been providing safe and nutritious feed and feed ingredients for more than 100 years, and the safety of our products is our top priority," read the statement.

ADM added, "We have been working closely with FDA regarding a manufacturing issue identified in February 2025 that resulted in some minerals being present in affected feeds at levels that are different from what is shown on the product label."
