Horse, poultry food recalled
Purina has voluntarily recalled a couple types of horse and poultry feed today. The food isn’t distributed in Oklahoma, but go check just in case. Here’s the recipe from the FDA:

The recall is being implemented due to the discovery of metal fragments in a limited number of bags from one of the Strategy® product lots. At the time the recall was issued, five customer complaints had been received. No animal health issues had been reported.
The products being recalled were manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 24-25, 2010. They were shipped to retailers and dealers in Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Virginia.
