Greetings,
I saw this latest mad cow feed warning letter and notice a few changes. thought it looked a little fishy, so looking further i find it seems that now the FDA et al could not say mad cow or BSE, even if they had a mouth full of it, this is exactly what this warning letter recall is about, recalling potential mad cow feed, that might contain prions, that might get fed to cattle or other ruminants. this is the poorest i have seen yet on a warning letter with lack of information. compare it to the feed ban recall warning letter at the bottom. ALSO, This violator violations were so bad, they required an OAI on 05/28/2009, but you would not have noticed this by it's warning letter. SO, you have 208,820 pounds more of suspect mad cow feed IN COMMERCE, feeding to pets, or maybe cattle, who knows, no warning label on it. NOTHING HAS CHANGED, IT'S ALL STILL VOLUNTARY BSe. ...
I reported this back on Saturday, June 13, 2009 ;

snip...
An OAI inspection classification occurs when significant objectionable conditions or practices were found and regulatory sanctions are warranted in order to address the establishment's lack of compliance with the regulation. An example of an OAI inspection classification would be findings of manufacturing procedures insufficient to ensure that ruminant feed is not contaminated with prohibited material. Inspections classified with OAI violations will be promptly re-inspected following the regulatory sanctions to determine whether adequate corrective actions have been implemented

IS this is a BSE/TSE feed ban violation of some sort, or exactly what ?
was the bulk barley mixed with dog food, cat food, fish food, deer or elk food or what ?
why no code or lot number ?
how does one expect to regain this banned product from commerce, IF one does not know what product contains said recall product i.e. was the bulk barely actually just bulk barely, or could it have possibly been salvaged pet foods of some sort ?
or, how did "prohibited materials" get into alleged "whole bulk barley" ? (confused)
how many different products is the 'bulk barely' mixed with ?
Myself and many others are wondering just exactly what this recall is all about ?
