Diamond Pet Foods has once again expanded its petfood recall, this time to include a brand of cat food produced at the company's Gaston, South Carolina, USA, petfood manufacturing facility, due to the possibility of Salmonella contamination.
The new recall involves two dry cat food formulas: Kirkland Signature Super Premium Maintenance Cat Chicken & Rice Formula and Kirkland Signature Super Premium Healthy Weight Cat Formula.
Recalled products have a production code with both a "3" in the ninth position and an "X" in the 11th position. Products are marked with "best-before" dates of December 9, 2012, through January 31, 2013.
The products were distributed to the following areas, but may have been distributed further through other petfood channels: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia, USA, as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico.
Concerned pet owners may contact Diamond Pet Foods by calling +1.866.918.8756, Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.
