Diamond Naturals

Owned by Diamond Pet Foods Kibble / retail 2 recalls high

Value-priced line from one of the largest US pet food manufacturers. Full label data published per formula. Diamond's plants also co-manufacture for many other brands — its 2005 aflatoxin and 2012 salmonella events affected multiple brands industry-wide.

Diamond Naturals is owned by Diamond Pet Foods (Schell & Kampeter). Of the 8 foods we hold, 8 publish a nutrient analysis, 8 a calorie statement, 8 an ingredient list and 8 a nutritional-completeness statement. 8 of those are AAFCO statements. Those counts are what the transparency mark above records — how we read a label.
