I dont know your guess is as good as mine. I just read on here to look for a G in the product code it didnt say where to look for the G to be.

hmmmm

well it keeps saying that it isn't the chicken soup line...but who knows?

darn..its the only kibble she'll eat, now I dont know what to do!

i have a trial size (1.5 lbs) of the chicken soup. Are these size bags mentioned anywhere?
I have stopped feeding Cisco this food for the time being.

HunnieBunnie's post tells you where the G is on the bags processed at the plant in question. Last post on first page of this thread.

Whoops it sure does I missed that thank you.

I missed that too, thanks! The G in mine is in a different spot..and my bags best buy date is May of 06...not any of the 07 they mention

Something I have learned from this . . . .

I put my food into another container for storage (especially because I purchase 40# bags). From now on, I will cut the code and tape it to the inside of the cover of my container.

Everything I've read says that if your dog experiences problems with a food to call the company with the code. I don't have the code as it stands right now, therefore, I will correct that problem.

The reason the company will ask for a code is because the manufacturers retain a sample of each code lot for cases just like this. They have a sample of the particular code lot on hand to do testing immediately if there is a problem.

Don't know if anyone else stores their food in other containters but thought I would share how I plan to remedy my problem.

I just got Chicken Soup this week. I only ordered it because lots of people said it was good and their furbabies love it. Princess is such a picky eater, she won't eat it. I ordered a small bag 6 pounds. The code is CSD1201EC1 Best by
June 13, 2007 17:23 JJ
Ok should I throw it out, or send it to someone who can use it?
Princess is so picky, I wish I could find a food she will eat.

This food was not distributed in all states. There are certain states that are affected and California was not on the list, so no need to worry.
Check on the Diamond Pet Food website for the list of states affected.

I know California was not on the list. But Princess won't eat it. So I'll have to find someone who can use it. Thanks. :)

Some pet stores let you return it if your pet don't like it. You can call the telephone number on the bag. I did that once, not for Chicken Soup and they refunded my money and sent me a check for the product, no questions asked.

Hmmm I'll have to look up the web site again. They don't sell it here at the store, so I ordered it on line. I know Pets Mart is really good at taking food back.
I have tried so many different kinds for her, and can't seem to find the one she likes. I don't want to give it to Poncho or Mandy because their diet is set, they are both on Nutro Natural Choice. It's only a 6 pound bag, I'm sure I can find someone who can use it. Thanks Again! :)

Where does it say that Diamond has recalled Chicken soup?

Chicken Soup has not been recalled. Here is a full list:

What products are being recalled?
Recalled products can be identified by the Date Code and "Best By" dates listed on the back panel of the package. Recalled products will have a capital "G" (in reference to Gaston) in the 11th or 12th position of the date code (18 lb. to 55 lb. bags), and "Best By" dates between March 1, 2007 and June 10, 2007. The capital "G" will be in the 9th position on smaller 4 lb. to 8 lb. bags.

Diamond's quantitative analysis records substantiate that shipments were definitively clear of aflatoxin after December 10. As such, "Best By 11-June-07" date codes or later are not affected. Also, products with "Best By" dates prior to 28-Feb-07 are safe.

Thanks. There has been talk on the list about it being recalled, but I could not find a source.
