Bird feed manufacturer Lafeber Co. recalled several lots of bird food due to pockets of high moisture that could lead to bacterial or fungal growth, the Cornell, Ill.-based company reported. One of the grains Lafeber uses in several products was not properly stored prior to the company taking possession of it, causing the moisture pockets to form. Over time, the higher moisture levels can lead to bacterial or fungal growth, the company said. The recalled products include: Product description Best Before Parrot Nutri-Berries 12 oz. tubs 121913B Parrot Nutri-Berries 3.25 lb. tubs, 20 lb. boxes 121813A, 121813B, 121913A, 122713A, 122713B and 010514 Parrot Popcorn Nutri-Berries 4 oz., 1 lb. bags 122013 and 122613 Cockatiel Sunny Orchard Nutri-Berries 10 oz. bags 122113 and 010214 Parrot Sunny Orchard Nutri-Berries 10 oz., 3 lb. bags 122513 and 122813 No adverse events have been reported to the company, but Lafeber recommended that customers stop feeding the product.
