What to do about Food safety

Grostrong, MoorMan's, MaxLean, Roughage Buster, Pen Pals, Patriot, Goat Power, Juniorglo, — A food safety problem prompted this recall. Read the summary above for the detail, because the right precaution depends on it.

  1. Stop eating it and check the codes on your pack against the identifiers listed on this page.
  2. Bag it and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.
  3. Wash anything it touched, and clean the shelf it was stored on if the pack has leaked.
  4. Check the freezer and pantry for other packs from the same codes.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Customers who have purchased the recalled feed should immediately stop using it and return it to their distributor or directly to ADM Animal Nutrition for a full refund.
