The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced guidelines regarding grain that has come into contact with flood waters. Affected grain is considered adulterated and must be destroyed or receive diversion approval by FDA due to the potential for contaminants from flood waters.

While there are few, if any, crops growing right now, previously harvested crops or siloed feed materials may be contaminated and no longer suitable for feeding.

For more information, please contact the FDA’s Kansas City District Office at (913) 495-5110.
