I spoke at length with Dr. Gordon Ballam about the recall. He said the feed was being recalled because of "too high amounts of Vitamin D." I specifically asked him if it was a problem, or a danger, for fish to eat. He said it definitely is not an issue for fish. He said that when the feed formulas were tested originally, they specifically focused on the different vitamins to make sure they were well within the bounds of fish nutrition. He said the problem here was with a vendor and that the amount of Vitamin D exceeded what the recipe called for. While it's no problem for fish, it could be a problem for other animals which eat it. He said that there are some aftermarket businesses which buy their feed and (beyond their control), repackage and use it for other animals. So, the recall is a precaution because the Vitamin D exceeds what the formula specifically states. It was for feed manufactured between April and May.
All their AquaMax Feeds are manufactured at the Richmond, Indiana plant and they think it will take a couple of weeks, maybe more, to catch up their "pipeline".
