WASHINGTON -- H.J. Baker & Bro. Inc, a feed manufacturers, was cited as saying Tuesday that livestock feed ingredients shipped to nine states may have been contaminated with cattle remains in violation of a 1997 ban to protect against mad cow disease, and that it was recalling three livestock feed ingredients, including two used to supplement feed given to dairy cows.
Mark Hohnbaum, president of the Westport, Conn.-based company's feed products group, was cited as saying that a sample tested by the Food and Drug Administration was positive for cattle meat and bone meal, adding, "This is very concerning to us. This isn't something that happens to us. We are very serious about food safety."
