Diamond Pet Foods again expands voluntary recall due to possible salmonella contamination

CINCINNATI - Diamond Pet Foods has once again expanded its voluntary recall of dry pet food due to the possibility of salmonella.

The expanded recall includes nine brands of dry pet food formulas manufactured between Dec. 9, 2011 and April 7, 2012 due to potential salmonella contamination.

Last month, Diamond Pet Foods began recalling some of its products. Although none of the additional recalled foods have tested positive for salmonella, the company is working to pull them from store shelves in Ohio, 15 other states and Canada, as a precaution.

Diamond food brands in the recall include:

- Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul
- Country Value
- Diamond
- Diamond Naturals
- Premium Edge
- Professional
- 4Health
- Taste of the Wild

The Kirkland Signature products included in the recall:

- Kirkland Signature Super Premium Adult Dog Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Formula (Best Before Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013)
- Kirkland Signature Super Premium Mature Dog Chicken, Rice & Egg Formula (Best Before Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013)
- Kirkland Signature Super Premium Healthy Weight Dog Formulated with Chicken & Vegetables (Best Before Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013)
- Kirkland Signature Super Premium Maintenance Cat Chicken & Rice Formula (Best Before Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013)

- Kirkland Signature Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato Formula for Dogs (Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013)

To determine if your pet food is recalled, check the production code on your bag. If the code has a "2" or "3" in the 9th position and an "X" in the 10th or 11th position, the product is affected by the recall.

The best-before dates for the recalled products are Dec. 9, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013.
