I received the following via email today:
Quoting:
Tue May 6, 2008 6:21 am (PDT)
Request forwarding and cross-posting to reach all horse owners who live in
OH, TN, KY, MS and states east of there, including the Carolinas, Georgia,
Florida, etc. If you live East of the Mississippi River, you'd best check.
See below for more details. Dealers were notified but general public has
not been notified.
On 4/9 Purina recalled 27 equine products including Senior and Platform
lines. On 4/21 they recalled another 18 products.
The problem is Aflatoxins which can cause liver dysfunction, immune
suppression and neurological difficulties.>>
Thanks for helping to alert any who feed Purina products - including Goat &
Pig.
Permission to cross-post has been granted; if you know folks who have/keep
horses, especially on the East Coast, please pass this on. This also effects
Goat & Pig feed too.

Took me 40+ minutes to get through....
I sent an inquiry by email yesterday, but I haven't gotten a response. By
phone, this morning, this is what I found out.
I called Purina Horse Feeds.
The recalled products are from these 3 East Coast Plants:
Guilderland, NY; Harrisburg, PA; Statesville, NC
The mfg plant codes are: GDL, HAR, STA If these codes are on your feed bags,
stop feeding and contact your dealer NOW.
I did not bother to get a list of products or the particulars.
Purina Phone number is: 1-800-227-8941
Essentially, those who are WEST of Ohio, Tenn, Ky, Mississippi, should all
be okay. Those who are in Ohio, Tenn, KY, Mississippi and states East of
there should all check their feed to be sure it isn't among the recall list.
This is the list of products, but only if from the GDL, HAR, STA plant
