BRANDS AFFECTED BY RECALL
- Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
- Country Value
- Diamond
- Diamond Naturals
- Premium Edge
- Professional
- 4Health
- Taste of the Wild
Much to my dismay, the Taste of the Wild that we feed Elka is on that list. I thought I was so smart, but not smart enough; I didn't know that Diamond Foods owned Taste of the Wild.
More information is at http://diamondpetrecall.com/ , and they can be called 7 days a week, apparently, at 1-866-918-8756, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST
Also, here is a link to the Refund Protocol.
I just found out that Natural Balance is on the list, not the variety I use but still. I would not have chosen it if i had known they farmed out the manufacturing to Diamond Foods.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought Taste of the Wild was manufactured by, y'know, Taste of the Wild.
DeleteAnd I hadn't known about the 2005 Diamond Foods recall and tainted food; that was Before Elka.
Diamond makes a lot of dog foods. We feed Taste of the Wild too. It is a good food.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that Taste of the Wild is a good food. My problem is that a good food produced in a bad factory makes it into bad, illness inducing food. We're just going to use something else for a little while, as our most recent bag of Taste of the Wild in fact fell within the recall per the instructions given.
