Diamond Dry Cat food recall!
Yet another recall by Diamond! Two brands of dry cat food from Rochester, NY were recalled recently due to severe deficiencies in thiamine (Vitamin B). This was first discovered by pet owners and veterinarians in the Rochester area when their cats showed neurologic problems.
The affected products are Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat and Premium Edge Hairball Cat with the following date codes: RAF0501A22X 18-lb. bag, RAF0501A2X 6-lb. bag, RAH0501A22X 18-lb. bag, RAH0501A2X 6-lb. bag.
Please check your bags of food at home, and make sure that they don't have those date codes! If you do have this in your clinic or home, please return it immediately to the retailer. Pets that consumed the recalled products should be immediately taken to a veterinarian for a thorough physical examination, baseline blood work, and possibly a Vitamin B injection!
Thankfully, this hasn't affected any other foods produced by Diamond. Based on thorough testing, other batches of Premium Edge cat foods were not affected. FYI: Diamond Pet Foods also had to settle a class action lawsuit due to aflatoxin (a mold) contaminated dog food in 2005 for $3.1 million. While the manufacturer refunded money to affected consumers who bought Diamond-brand products tainted with the mold aflatoxin and covered veterinary bills, some dogs were severely affected and did die from this!
