To: Wysong Distributors and Retailers This is to notify you that some batches of product made during a week in June, 2009 may contain mold. It appears that the extremely high heat and humidity at that time raised the moisture level of the product during its transition from drier to package. Normally, moisture levels below 12-14% are not conducive to mold. Our tests during production were less than our target of 10%. But tests of suspect lots are around 12%. Although we have not detected mycotoxins (we formulate with ingredients that inhibit mold growth and adsorb mycotoxins), anytime there is mold that possibility exists. No harm to animals has been reported, but we would still ask that the product not be sold.
