Has anyone heard this my mom just called to tell me that the Denver post Did an article on 5 foods being recalled and Diamond was among them.

I did a search at the Denver Post and didn't find anything. The FDA recall list was updated yesterday and no Diamond is on it.

any additional info appreciated.....bumma

Diamond does not use gutens in their food that I know of. You can always call them. They manufactured the dry dog & cat foods recalled by Natural Balance.

Beyond the dog food companies what are these other companies who are importing this stuff doing for safety measures?? We want to blame the dog food companies sure, but don't these things need to go through some sort of testing before they even make it up for sale??
Or before they even leave their contry??

I too heard there were 5 more dog foods recalled but that the names have not been released.

If your mom has that info would you please post it for all too see.

I don't see it on the link posted.

Thanks

Wow!!! So the whole thing is about money?!
Report says that if the wheat gluten and rice protein were "spiked" with melamine, it would make it look as though it had a higher protein value and would be worth more money...
Disgraceful!

I did find this....

Wilbur-Ellis noted that it obtained rice protein from a single source in China and shipped to a total of five U.S. pet-food manufacturers located in Utah, N.Y., Kansas and two in Missouri.

Personally I think this new product "rice protein concentrate" in itself raises the protein percentage so they can cut back on the meat protein.

Has anyone seen rice protein concentrate listed in dog foods before this?

no i haven't heard of the rice protein,. and i will let ya know if i hear about the 5 other brands of food.
