I almost think there's something going on besides salmonella to be honest...
My issue with Diamond isn't even this salmonella thing completely. I'm not OVERLY concerned with salmonella (though I do know dogs CAN get ill from it, and obviously have been, and humans are not getting sick from the kibble - human foods are recalled for it quite a bit as well) but it's how they handle the recalls. Apparently they have not been very willing to share info with store owners who even sell their products, either, and I just do not like the way they are handling this. Do you know how many dogs they killed during the 2007 mess?
There's obviously something NOT right at that plant, IMO, and if people continue to buy their products, they will continue to make them with the current standards they practice. They shouldn't get any credit for the recalls. They only recalled after the FDA told them they had salmonella - each time. It wasn't their quality control, or anything, that produced this recall. THEY weren't the ones to pick it up so to me... I just wonder what else can slip through the cracks. |
