I thought this would already be posted but I didn't see it anywhere.

IMPORTANT -Katee Exact Handfeeding Formula 5 lb has been recalled March and May 2013... Final lab results were concluded on Friday and indicated that product was produced incorrectly. Involved was one production batch of Handfeeding Formula for Baby Birds and one of MacawHandfeeding Formula. Both of these have levels of vitamin D3 that may cause kidney damage, the severity of which will be dependent on the species being fed, age of babies fed and the duration of feeding.The following packaging code dates are of concern:product Code/SKU/ Material # UPC Code Size Lot/Serial No. Product Name/Description Best Before Code (day month yr)100032326 07185947510 6/7.5 oz.

B1 Kaytee exact® Hand Feeding Formula Baby Macaw 1 Mar 13, 14 Mar 13 and 19Apr 13 Products and product lots that do not appear on the list above are NOT affected. Please distribute this information as necessary. More details will be distributed by Kaytee in the next couple of days regarding product replacement and evaluation of potential problems.Thanks for all of your help in thisissue.


I was also told by a friend of mine that zupreem is now thirty days behind in production, so if any of you are going to have babies soon, if your local stores still have zupreem formula, you may want to buy it now as it may not be available when you need it.

I am expecting my new baby B&G Macaw at the age of 6 weeks. He will be transfered over to me by our breeder at that age so I and my husband can hand feed him from that point. I bought the Kaytee Exact High Fat Hand Feeding Formula. I checked the dates and numbers on the bags I bought from "Doctors Foster and Smith website. Thankfully they are ok. I want to thank IcyWolf for the news! and, for watching out for the rest of us....Big thanks!
