June 11 (Reuters) - Global grain trader
Archer-Daniels-Midland ( ADM ) said on Tuesday a manufacturing
issue caused harmful levels of various minerals to be present in
certain animal feed products and led to their subsequent recall.
ADM shares were down 1.1% in morning trade.
On Monday, the global grain trader expanded the product
recalls announced earlier this year due to elevated levels of
magnesium, sodium, calcium, chloride and/or phosphorus.
ADM Animal Nutrition's prior two recalls covered chicken,
swine and rabbit feed products. The latest expansion covers 55
additional products and includes feeds for horses, lambs and
llamas.
"We have been working closely with U.S. FDA regarding a
manufacturing issue that resulted in some minerals being present
in affected feeds at levels that are different from what is
shown on the product label," ADM told Reuters in an emailed
statement.
"The issue has since been corrected, and we are working
diligently to recall all product that has been impacted."
No illnesses have been reported to date, the company said.
