This voluntary recall has been activated due to elevated calcium levels. The calcium was inadvertently introduced in an isolated batch during the manufacturing process.

"Premium Nutritional Products is a family company that prides itself on over 40 years of safety, tradition and excellence in the pet-nutrition industry," said David Morris, President. "On behalf of ZuPreem, we apologize for any inconvenience this recall has caused bird owners and their birds. We are working with our industry partners to resolve all related issues as quickly as possible."

Customers who purchased these products should review the "Use by (expiration date)" to see if they fall within the voluntarily recalled product expiration dates and Lot Codes. If your product falls within these expiration dates and Lot Codes discontinue feeding this product. Return the product to your retail location where the product was purchased for reimbursement or replacement.
