Temporary Stop Sale for all Deccox Products Issued

February 26, 2026

On February 2, 2026 Health Canada issued a temporary stop sale for all Deccox products.

The action was taken by Health Canada based on Good Manufacturing Practice observations related to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturer. We do not know what these observations were, only that Health Canada has told our Canadian distributor they cannot order Deccox®  in the short term until the issues with the manufacturer are resolved.

There are no safety or quality concerns associated with manufacturing, distribution, or quality systems. The issues prompting this regulatory action are procedural - there are NO safety or efficacy concerns with Deccox® or the API used in its production.

This is not a product recall and there is no impact on Deccox® products that you may already have in your possession.

 An FAQ is linked below from the Canadian distributor of Deccox that OSF has permission to share with our members.

Bovatec®

There is a substitute product that can be used in lamb rations called Bovatec?. This product is approved for use in lamb feeds like creep and lamb grower but beyond the approved label usage you will require a veterinary prescription. Please reach out to your nutritionist or veterinarian for more information about product uses and regulatory requirements.
