Diamond Pet Foods recalled nine brands of dry pet foods manufactured at its Gaston plant between Dec. 9, 2011 and April 7, 2012. Several other companies whose food was also produced in the facility have joined the recall.
QUOTE: The Form 483 report, posted by the FDA late Tuesday afternoon, was the result of a week-long inspection that began April 12 after an outbreak of human Salmonella Infantis infection was traced to contaminated pet food manufactured at the Diamond Pet Foods plant in Gaston, S.C. ... The report states that Diamond was using cardboard and duct tape on some of its equipment and that there were damaged paddles on the conveyor. The inspectors also noted that some surfaces at the facility were encrusted with food residues.

Obviously the regular audited food safety inspection by respected laboratories (respected by who)and there so called 141 ingredients test are failing miserably.
It's nice to know the top pet food manufactures have your pets health in mind I can rest easier now, LOL.
I hope I can encourage you that fixing raw food doesn't take much more time than fixing your own meal. I feed my dogs near the time we eat, so I just cut up the meat and add the goodies while I am in the kitchen getting our meals ready. It takes me about 5-9 minutes, usually about 5 minutes or so. I buy the food and divide it in portions before freezing it. So all I do for my dogs is to do what I do for us, each morning I take our a frozen portion and thaw it and then fix it for them later. It does take time for me to divide the portions of meat up. I buy big packages and then break them down for the dogs. I also divide the heart, or liver, ahead of time and then it is all ready when I go to make it.
Just thought I would encourage you that if you would like to feed raw, its not so hard as it sounds.

Thanks Sharon but I think feeding four German Shepherds cooked meals as well as the rest of the family might be a bit more then I can handle. Sometimes the kids get the human version of "Kibble" as well
