This is directly copied and pasted from their web site. A while back someone posted that their foods were made in this factory. I just wanted to advise of the discrepancy.
I have also sent an email in regard to the Nutro Lamb and Rice formula in which someone has posted a very sad thing in regard to their dogs being sick and one died. I want answers from these people and I will post what is said. I have tried their phone number and I hate to be stuck on hold for a long time so hung up. Feel free to call them if you are interested as I am.

Dear Consumers:
Nutro Products was saddened to learn the details of the recent Diamond® Pet Foods recall of many of their pet foods. Our hearts go out to all the affected pet owning families. This event has generated many inquiries.
Please be assured that
Nutro Products is in no way affiliated with Diamond Pet Foods. Nutro is a privately owned company that has been producing the highest quality super-premium pet foods for almost 80 years. None of our products are manufactured in any Diamond facility.
We take great pride in our products, their quality and their performance. Our #1 priority is to make safe and nutritious dog and cat foods for your pets, and ours as well. Nutro employs the following rigorous, multi-level program to assure the safety and performance of all our foods.
- First, Nutro's standards are stricter than the government's standards.
- Second, Nutro requires all our grain suppliers to test each load and provide us with certificates that assure the absence of aflatoxin risk. Loads not meeting Nutro's strict standards may not be shipped to us.
- Third, despite vendor assurances, we still test in our own labs every load of grain before it can be unloaded. Loads not meeting our strict standards are refused. We make no exceptions!
- Fourth, each batch of finished product is tested again not only for aflatoxin, but for many other potential contaminants. No product leaves the warehouse that hasn't passed these rigorous tests.
- Finally, Nutro performance tests every batch of its finished dog and cat foods. This additional step means that Nutro's high standards for palatability, digestibility and stool performance have been met.
Many Nutro employees have dogs and cats as family too, so we understand how much your pets' well-being means to you. You can be assured we will continue to earn your confidence as we continue to meet our promise.
Please feel free to call our Consumer Services Department at (800) 833-5330 if you have any further questions or concerns.
