HERE is the form to fill out if your product was affected for a replacement.

Note: it is unlikely that a healthy dog would become sick by having Salmonella in pet food, however, it would be a problem for puppies or those dogs with a compromised immune system. It becomes a problem for people when they touch the food and do not wash their hands after feeding their pet.

Also, if you store your pet's food in a container, please take the food out if affected and wash it out with a bleach water solution to kill any bacteria that may be in the container.  I highly suggest cleaning out the container between every bag of food during normal use.

IMPORTANT: Signs of Salmonella in Pets

Pets with Salmonella infections may have decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

IMPORTANT: Signs of Salmonella in People

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Peanut Butter RECALL!!!!

I use peanut butter to stuff in the dogs Kong toys and for myself of course... thankfully none of ours is on the list... but please check your Peanut Butter to be sure.


For Immediate Release-Portales, NM (September 24, 2012)  – Sunland,
Inc. today announced a  voluntary recall of its Almond Butter and Peanut Butter, which it has
now expanded to include its Cashew Butter, Tahini and Roasted Blanched Peanut Products.  This
recall is limited to products manufactured between May 1, 2012 and September 24, 2012.  These
products may be contaminated with  Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and
sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened
immune systems.  Healthy persons infected with  Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea
(which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.  In rare circumstances, infection
with  Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more
severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The voluntary recall was initiated after learning that between June 11, 2012 and September 2,
2012, twenty-nine people reported  Salmonella Bredeney PFGE matching  illnesses in
approximately 18 states, including Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri,
Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan,  Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, North
Carolina,  Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey  and Maryland, according to a report issued on
September 22, 2012 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"There is nothing more important to us than the health and safety of our customers, particularly
the many families who enjoy our peanut butter everyday.  While FDA, CDC, and State Health
Agencies investigate to confirm the cause of illnesses reported, as a precautionary step, we have
decided to voluntarily recall our  Almond Peanut and Cashew Butters, Tahini and Roasted
Blanched Peanut products manufactured between May 1, 2012 and September 24, 2012.  If you
purchased these products, do not eat them.  Please return the product to your supermarket for a
full refund or dispose of it."

Statement of Jimmie Shearer, President and CEO of Sunland, Inc.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).  No other Sunland products are affected by this recall.

The products were distributed  nationally to numerous large supermarket chains and  were

Taste of the Wild Recall

Part of the Diamond Pet Foods Recall, Diamond manufactures Taste of the Wild.  I have heard that Taste of the Wild is searching for a new Manufacturer for their foods, which might help them because I know a lot of people (myself included) who will no longer be using any foods manufactured by Diamond.

From the Taste of the Wild website...


Diamond Pet Foods, manufacturer of Taste of the Wild Pet Food, has issued a voluntary recall of limited batches of their dry pet food formulas manufactured between December 9, 2011, and April 7, 2012 due to Salmonella concerns.

CDC Links Diamond Pet Foods to Samonella Outbreak

Read more about the Diamond Pet Foods recall HERE.


From the CDC Website "Multiple brands of dry pet food produced by Diamond Pet Foods at a single manufacturing facility in South Carolina have been linked to some of the human Salmonella infections. People who think they might have become ill after contact with dry pet food or with an animal that has eaten dry pet food should consult their health care providers.

A total of 14 individuals infected with the outbreak strain of SalmonellaInfantis have been reported from 9 states. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Alabama (1), Connecticut (1), Michigan (1), Missouri (3), North Carolina (3), New Jersey (1), Ohio (2), Pennsylvania (1), and Virginia (1)."

Diamond Pet Foods is no longer responding to inquiries and refuses to comment further on the matter.  Evidenced further by their latest press release "We are working with the CDC, but due to patient confidentiality, we cannot comment further."

The human illnesses that can be linked to the pet foods can be linked back to October 2011, if they started this long ago, why did they wait so long to stop production from every food being made in that plant?  The recall did not occur until April 6, 2012 and that was just for the Diamond Lamb & Rice Pet Food.  The Chicken Soup Pet Lover’s Soul Adult Light Formula dry dog food was recalled April 26, 2012.  On April 30, 2012, Diamond Puppy was recalled and on May 4, 2012 they finally recalled Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, Country Value, Diamond, Diamond Naturals, Premium Edge, Professional, 4Health, and Taste of the Wild.

I don't understand how Diamond let it get this far and how it took them so long to take action.  They state that they put their food through 151 tests.  How is Salmonella not one of those tests?  I had my dogs on Taste of the Wild 3 months ago, I used the bag and switched over to Acana to see if it would help the one with allergies.  I could have gotten sick because of this, my dogs could have gotten sick, albeit, very unlikely that they would.


Note: it is unlikely that a healthy dog would become sick by having Salmonella in pet food, however, it would be a problem for puppies or those dogs with a compromised immune system. It becomes a problem for people when they touch the food and do not wash their hands after feeding their pet.

On another note, I store my dogs food in a vittles vault because it is airtight and keeps the bugs out, I don't generally keep the bags, I wash out the container in between bags and pour the new bag in and toss the bag.  I have just recently started cutting out the production numbers and UPC codes and taping them to the top of the container.  I urge all of you to do the same if you don't keep the bag.  If you do this it will allow you to check production numbers in case of a recall like this.  I might start keeping all of my production numbers and UPC's in a binder that way I can keep track of what they are eating, since most of the bags in this recall would have been used months ago.

In the end all I have to say is, shame on you Diamond Foods for letting it get to this.
