Ruh Roh!!! ... I think uhhh, now might be a good time to start practicing saving those feed bag labels with the date/product codes and all that other info on it! Even though theyre cleaning this grain product which is typically used for cakes, biscuits and pastry the PPM exposure on this comes into play - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration restricts vomitoxin in finished products such as flour to 1 ppm. The FDA advises total diets for chicken and cattle have less than 5 ppm and swine at 1 ppm. Export buyers typically limit levels to 2 ppm. On that note, I think its best to be prepared for mistakes to happen when the product enters the food chain, if it hasnt entered into it already - Livestock that consume feed made with scabby wheat can get sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Some will refuse to eat the feed, reducing the amount of weight they gain. reuters/article/2014/08/18/us-usa-wheat-scab-idUSKBN0GI0AS20140818
