Diamond lied to Therese

"I was assured that they do not use rice protein concentrate in any of their own products." - Therese

Due to American Nutrition’s recall, the following Diamond Pet Food can formulations are being recalled:

    * Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul Kitten Formula cans
    * Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul Puppy Formula cans
    * Diamond Lamb & Rice Formula cans

... none of the above Diamond products list rice protein concentrate.

Diamond’s homepage still claims “WHEAT GLUTEN OR RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE IS NOT USED in any of our dry, canned or treat products.”

I guess Diamond lied to us too

I am under the impression that Diamond lies a lot.  My dogs had both been eating Nutro Ultra (a recalled kind) for about 6 weeks before the recall was announced.  I immediately stopped feeding it to them and decided to switch to Chicken Soup.  I spoke with someone from their company and was assured that they do not use any products from China, and that, following their problem last year, had completely overhauled their quality control procedures and now rigorously tested every ingredient multiple times.  Now I hear that they have products recalled due to contaminated rice gluten FROM CHINA.  I've since switched to Canidae and my dogs are doing well.  I feel that they've dodged bullets twice now and my heart goes out to everyone whose pets have been sickened or killed.  I'm very upset with the way the FDA has "fallen asleep on the job" or worse, intentionally looked the other way.  In the last few months, there has been tainted spinach, green onions, peanut butter, now so much animal food.... where will it end?  It is my hope that we will get a completely different set of people at the helm (who actually have some competence and who care enough to do their jobs) with a new presidential administration.  I think most democrats care about the safety of our products, while the general republican mentality is to put profit for big business ahead of all else.

I think your impression is pretty accurate.
