IF you go to www.recalls.org and choose Veterinary & 2008 it will get you there, but I'm not finding it in the list now. I looked through all of 08 twice and did a search, but still didn't see it. I must be overlooking it somehow. I'll go to the FDA recall site and check there. They should have the same info on there. ETA - found it, it's Nutr A Nuggets, which is a different brand. It says Oct. 08 expiration date, so I'm assuming it's a continuing recall from last year? Experts? Details: "PRODUCT Diamond Pet Foods Nutra Nuggets Lamb Meal and Rice formula dog food in 40 lb. yellow and green paper bag, CODE Production codes of NLR0404A2SL or NLR0404B2SL, “Best Before” Oct. 9, 2008 RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER Diamond Pet Foods, Lathrop, CA, REASON Product is contaminated with melamine. VOLUME OF PRODUCT IN COMMERCE 6,064 units DISTRIBUTION Nationwide and Canada" |

http://www.recalls.org/vet08.htmThe right link-"htm", not "html" FDA Enforcement Report-May 14, 2008 http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ENFORCE/2008/ENF01056.htmlRECALLS AND FIELD CORRECTIONS: VETERINARY MEDICINE - CLASS I ___________________________________ PRODUCT Diamond Pet Foods Nutra Nuggets Lamb Meal and Rice formula dog food in 40 lb. yellow and green paper bag, Recall # V-031-2008 CODE Production codes of NLR0404A2SL or NLR0404B2SL, “Best Before” Oct. 9, 2008 RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER Diamond Pet Foods, Lathrop, CA, by press release and letters on May 23, 2007. Firm initiated recall is ongoing. REASON Product is contaminated with melamine. VOLUME OF PRODUCT IN COMMERCE 6,064 units DISTRIBUTION Nationwide and Canada And here you see the recall was considered ongoing (all product units not accounted for), so it was re-posted on the FDA Enforcement Report. We saw this with the other melamine recalls too, because all cans, pouches and bags of the contaminated food could not be accounted for by the manufacturers of them.

At my pet food shop today all of the bags of Nutro Lamb and Rice were gone from their usual place near the register with a sign saying that the food would be unavailable due to a lamb shortage....I asked the clerk what was going on as I had seen alot of complaints on the internet about Nutro and she said that she thinks those are from when Nutro had trouble getting good rice...I asked her why other brands of lamb seemed in normal supply and she did not know why...strange...nothing new at the website..I go in this store every other friday and there were at least a dozen bags piled up on special at the last visit...  |

Carol think there might really be something wrong with the food after all and instead of admitting it they are just doing silent recalls? It happened all the time during the pet food disaster of 2007 as I recall.

I spoke to a Nutro demo person Saturday in Petsmart, and she said they are changing the Nutro formulas again! They are adding wet meat; lamb and chicken to the lamb meal and chicken meal. They have also made the bags smaller, (from 40 to 35 lb bags). They have also discontinued the dental formula, the small bites lite and senior small bites formulas.
The manager in that same Petsmart said Nutro is also discontinuing the large breed formula in the royal blue bag. They are also increasing the prices dramatically in the Max formulas.
If nothing is wrong with the food, why all the changes? AND, I'll bet they won't tell the public when they do change the formulas.

formulas started changing when the first company sale went thru.. it appears IMHO that Mars is doing to Nutro what it did to Royal canin |

Wow! I've never heard that before! Australia must irradiate a lot of pet food coming in. I wonder if this is common knowledge in Australia?

Carol I read with great interest post #34. NUTRO had a problem with IRRADIATION !!!! WTF - have then been blasting their pet food with radiation for gawd knows how long. Is this why pets are throwing up, eating grass, drinking tons of water and suffering with other ailments that could be due to the radiation of the food? Exactly how long have they done this and is the food marked with the symbol for food that has been irridiated? This just makes me sick - and all of those poor pets who suffered because of this food IMO.

Heard back from Nutro today re: amount of Vitamin D in their dry foods. They say 2000iu/kg. Is that high or normal? The necropsy for my female Jack Russell who died in June of 2008 showed mineralization indicative of Vitamin D toxicity but they would not say DEFINITELTY Vitamin D caused her death. No melamine or cyaurnic acid present. Her symptoms were the same as Vitamin D toxicity as well as Zinc toxicity. Zinc levels in the Chicken & Rice dry food were 88mg/kg. Depending on which authority you look at, one says too much zinc, the other says 'within guidelines'. Trying to pin it down before I spend MORE money I don't have on food & slide analysis.
Anybody have any ideas, suggestions, etc?
