As reported, last night there was another famous Friday night recall from Diamond – http://health4uandpets.typepad.com/healthproducts/2012/05/diamond-pet-food-expands-recall-again-to-include-diamond-naturals-small-breed-adult-dog-lamb-rice-fo.html
However, this time the food was made in the Meta, Missouri Diamond Plant. In early April Diamond started recalling dog and cat foods and that has continued through May. Now that the Meta, Missouri plant is involved will we start to see more recalls from that plant? Salmonella is not easy to get rid of so we're guessing yes.
Now here is the really scary part – the press release states – 'Product manufactured on August 26' but not packaged until 'September 27' and 'October 18'. What??? So the food was made 1 or 2 months before it was bagged? Where was it stored? How was it stored? How could this happen??
The Best Used Before date should coincide with the manufactured date but this food states – the 'Best Before' date on the package Is October 18, 2012 but the food was made on August 26 so that should be the date. Also, this is food FROM August 26, 2011 – it is May 19, 2012! That's 9 months after it's been made, 7 months since it's been bagged. This really blows me away that the food was sitting around 1 or 2 months before being bagged and was exposed to contaminants.
I am sure this isn't going to end well. Will Diamond just drag this out hoping consumers will forget? Look how many people are just hearing about the recalls in 2007 – will this be the same?
