Horse feed manufacturer Allen & Page has issued a precautionary recall for two batches of its Fast Fibre product due to higher-than-intended linseed levels. The company stresses there is no evidence of harmful substances and the feed is not toxic. Customers are advised to dispose of affected bags and seek refunds.
On Tuesday, 3 February 2026, Allen & Page announced the recall of two specific batches of Fast Fibre: batch number 14/01/26 with a best before date of 04/05/26, and batch number 15/01/26 with a best before date of 05/05/26. The decision stems from linseed levels being higher than intended in some bags, though not every bag in these batches is affected. "While not every bag within these batches is affected, the decision was taken to recall the entirety of the two identified batches as a precautionary measure," a spokesperson stated.
The batch numbers appear on the right-hand side of the label sewn into the bottom of each bag. No other batches or Allen & Page products are involved. "The affected batches are not toxic, are not contaminated, and are not a clean sport or NOPS [naturally occurring prohibited substance] issue," the spokesperson added. "There is no evidence of a harmful substance being present."
Owners who have fed the affected product should stop immediately and dispose of it. "Monitor your equine, as usual, for appetite and water intake, manure and urination, attitude and behaviour etc, if you notice any changes please contact us," the spokesperson advised. Increased linseed can impact horses differently, and the company offers support for health concerns.
Affected feed may look darker or feel stickier and more 'gloopy' when soaked. If purchased after 16 January 2026 and showing these signs, do not feed it and contact Allen & Page. Purchases before that date are safe. Retain labels or receipts for full refunds via stockists, who have been notified. For advice, call 01362 822902.
This recall underscores the manufacturer's commitment to equine safety amid routine quality checks.
