Pet food recall-LOOK HERE FOR UPDATES BEFORE REPEATING

ORIGINAL: JoAnnDe

Here's the info on where NB is manufactured (from a previous post)
Natural Balance: Not made by Menu Foods. Dry food is made at their own plant
then shipped to the Diamond plant where it is bagged. They have their own people
on site all of the time. Canned food is made at their own plant, then shipped to
American Nutrition in Utah where it is canned. Natural Balance has their own
line at American Nutrtion and no other canned foods are run through NB's
equipment.

“In regards to our products, please know that our dry and canned formulas are “co-packed” at a separate facility in the United States. Our dry products are co-packed at a Diamond facility and our canned products are co-packed at American Nutrition. What this means, is that we use their machinery to manufacture our OWN products. We also have our OWN quality control over seeing any manufacturing/production of our products. Further, all of our products are tested prior to production, after production, and then once again at our facility before the product ever leaves for distribution.”

Wilbur-Ellis CEO John Thacher said his company sold the concentrate to five pet-food makers, but that most of it went to two firms. One of the primary companies was Diamond Pet Foods, which packs some of the Natural Balance product but doesn't use the concentrate in any Diamond-made foods, says Diamond spokesman Jim Fallon. The other major customer, which Thacher would not name, tested the rice protein and found no melamine
