Outcome: Initial Outcome

The University Of Kentucky College of Agriculture Food and Environment and the Cooperative Extension Service have the knowledge and resources to help clientele throughout the commonwealth on an array of topics. The owner of a local deer mineral company contacted this agent after receiving a labeling infraction notice from the University Of Kentucky Regulatory Services. He was unsure of what to do and was concerned that he would have to dispose of several thousand dollars worth of product. The clients formula and mineral ingredient list were provided to Regulatory Services for review. Regulatory services provided the necessary information to help the client correct the label and formulate a better product. The client had over 4,000 pounds of product mixed and packaged and was preparing to mix and package another 10,000 pounds at the time of receiving the infraction notice. The client commented  " I thought I was going to have to dispose of the product and that would have been about $20,000, I really appreciate the help."
