Cargill Animal Nutrition is recalling 50 lb. bags of Nutrena NatureWise Goat Pellets distributed in 5 states because of an error in labeling.

The goat pellets were manufactured at Cargill’s Montgomery, AL facility on Dec. 31, 2011, Feb. 18, 2012, and Feb. 25, 2012 and distributed in five states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and North Carolina.
The recall is for:
– NatureWise Goat Pellet 16, lot code 1MG1365, date code 1MG1DEC31
– NatureWise Goat Pellet 16, lot code 3MG2049, date code 3MG2FEB18
