Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Diamond Pet Foods is recalling approximately 9,733 units of several dog food brands, including Diamond Naturals Lamb Meal & Rice, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul, and Diamond Puppy formulas, due to potential Salmonella contamination. These products were distributed in various bag sizes ranging from 6-ounce samples to 40-pound bags and were sold in several U.S. states and international markets. No illnesses have been reported to date, but consumers are urged to return the affected pet food to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is a risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
