the very top of the page "click here for information on
Unimilk"
PLEASE CROSSPOST TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS LIVESTOCK OR KNOWS
SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOES. This needs to get out since the Manna Pro Corporation
does not seem to feel the need to alert it's distributors and doesn't have a
CLEAR warning on their website.
Subject: FW: Puppy Milk Replacers
and Weaning Formula recall
In case anyone is using this for puppies...I
have to wonder now if this will also start effecting the kitten milk
replacers too.
April
26th, 2007. I was monitoring a livestock email list today when I noticed a
post by one of the members who was looking for milk replacer for her kids
(goats). She wrote:
Recently I had some kids born and mother refused
them. Not having enough milk from mother to feed these kids I went to
Milk Replacer. I usually use Land-O-Lakes Kid Milk Replacer but could
not find any anywhere. I went to Tractor Supply Company (TSC) and purchased
two 10# bags of MannaPro UNIMILK. I have since lost one kid. I happened to
be talking to a friend in Indiana about what happened and she asked me
what replacer I was using, so I told her...This is when I found out that
brand had a RECALL notice. I searched through the information and found that
INDEED the bags I purchased were part of that recall. I Called the TSC store
and they had no idea anything had a recall on it. I printed the info out
and the next day I took everything into the store to prove to them.
The recall has been in place since 3-30-07. All the Unimilk was still
on the shelf, not taking my word for it. I showed the manager the printout
and he searched the TSC website and found no alerts. He said he would give me
my money back for both bags but he couldn't do anything about the kid.
Yesterday I stopped at a friends house and found they she was using UNIMILK
for a calf... She got it at TSC about 2 weeks ago. Why wasn't TSC informed?
And then when they were? Why didn't they do anything about it?

I went on the Manna Pro corpo ration web site today
and had a very difficult time finding a tiny button which stated "Information
about Manna Pro Milk Replacer" (nothing about "Alert" or "Recall" or
Danger"). This is what that MannaPro information page stated:
Manna
Pro has a heritage of quality and takes pride in maintaining the highest
quality standards for the products it produces and sells under the Manna Pro
brand name.
Very recently, a few customers have reported that, when mixed
with water, the Unimilk they purchased turns light grey in color rather than
the characteristic creamy white. As we have investigated these consumer
calls, we have identified that a single batch of Unimilk is affected by this
issue.
