If you belong to a message board you may have seen many emails recently about Purina food recalls. According to 'The Horse' a reputable magazine on horse health, the recall is voluntary and precautionary. It affects feed manufactured at three eastern plants that contain above acceptable amounts of mycotoxins.
From Thehorse.com:
The recalled feed was produced at:
Purina's Statesville, N.C., plant between Nov. 3, 2007, and Feb. 8, 2008;
Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 1, 2008, and Feb. 8, 2008; and
Guilderland, N.Y., Jan. 1, 2008, and March 10, 2008.
Dealers in the following states might have sold affected product:
Connecticut,
Delaware,
Georgia,
Maine,
Maryland,
Massachusetts,
New Hampshire,
New Jersey,
New York,
North Carolina,
Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island,
South Carolina,
Tennessee,
Vermont,
Virginia, and
West Virginia.
For those of us on the west coast, there is no need to be worried. If you live in these areas and use Purina products, please check with your local feed store where you purchased for more information. Your dealer is BY FAR your best resource.

I saw a post on a horse site somewhere that had an owner from the west coast who had feed with recalled batch numbers. She didn't know how that could have happened but it did. So it sounds to me that anyone using Purina should be checking to be safe.
