FDA 483 - Keith Cattle Co. - June 15, 2023

An FDA inspection of Keith Cattle Co., a beef cattle starter feedlot in Allen, KS, revealed two significant issues related to drug use and record keeping. The firm was cited for extralabel use of an animal drug that resulted in a residue above safe levels in an animal intended for human consumption. Additionally, the inspection found that the company failed to review treatment records to ensure appropriate drug withdrawal periods were met prior to shipping animals for slaughter.
