This voluntary recall is being done out of an abundance of caution as these products were produced at the facility that has been linked to recent recalls of Diamond brand pet foods..." <br /><br />Who is making this stuff? Either diamond is making this 'Solid Gold' (or possibly something less valuable?) as well as their own, or both are someone elses product.<br /><br />If all these designer feeds are so 'good', why do they not have their own manufacturing facility, where they can at least control the sanitary conditions of the process? <br /><br />Pet food is the end product of every major milling company. Materials residual to the main product manufacturing process are too valuable to simply throw away, so bright minds conceived of an acceptable use... make cereal pet foods! Most of the major manufacturers of pet foods are also some of these milling companies. General Mills, Carnation, Purina, Quaker Oats, and others I have forgotten, have their own line of foods, and also contract the manufacture of food for other names.<br /> More than a little thought has gone into this product, but all have succumbed to the lure of economics at sometime in their background.<br /> In the past dozen years, or so, numerous specialty foods, extolling one 'virtue' or another over their rivals, have emerged. All however, tout their benefit of not using the 'garbage' that the traditional 'store brands' use in their products, and back that claim up with various trials and testimonials, or medical advantages. I suppose that, if your pet mirrored the life and activity of those test animals, that would be a valuable factor in making your choice of foods. But, serious, critical selection demands you conduct your own feed trials, on your own animal or animals.<br /> But, it is still a free country, so do as you feel best. Just, possibly, with a more open mind?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
