Reposted from another group.  It seems that the Costco Kirkland
store brand and the Chicken Soup lines may also be affected:

Diamond Pet Food  Recall
1/4/06 11:53am ET - Update From AnimalHelp:

Despite claims that  the brands below are the only brands
affected, We have received feedback  from pet owners who have
recently fed both Cosco "Kirkland"
brand pet foods  and Chicken Soup Brand Dog Food, whose pets have
exhibited the same
symptoms  as noted with Diamond Brands and the aflatoxin
contamination.

**Please be  aware that while these animals had all the same
symptoms of aflatoxin  illness the test results have not been
completed yet and it will be a short time
before we know for sure whether their deaths were caused by the
food. There are other illnesses and diseases that cause liver
failure and may be to blame. But because the foods
these animals were eating are all made by Diamond, and  the
symptoms are the same, we want to warn you to be on the lookout
for similar  illness in your animals until we know for sure.

Sadly, a 2 year old Skye  Terrier died Monday January 2nd, 2006.
He was eating Chicken Soup brand food  and displayed the symptoms
of aflatoxin illness before
he died. The other  dogs in this household are also sick. Liver
profiles, toxicology
screenings  and pathology results are pending.

Also, a cat death has occured on  Tuesday January 3rd, 2006 in SC.
This cat was eating Cosco brand cat food  and displayed the
symptoms of aflatoxin illness. Pathology results are pending  on
this cat. We know of one other cat who almost died from the same
symptoms of  aflatoxin illness and also was being fed Cosco brand
cat food.

Cosco's  Kirkland Brand pet foods are made by Schell & Kampeter,
who also make the  Diamond Products. Chicken Soup is considered
one of their super premium
food, and they also make Nutra Nuggets. Cosco Kirkland is made at
one or more of the
Diamond plants.

If you feed your pet Cosco brands - or  ANY other pet food brands
(it is possible that other
store brands are made at  Diamond plants) - and see illness and
symptoms as mentioned
here, we urge you  to get your pet to your veterinarian
immediately for a liver profile.

We  expect the Chicken Soup brands and the Cosco brands will be
added to the  official recall very soon if the test results from
these two recent deaths
provide proof that cause of death resulted from ingestion of
aflatoxin in the food. We will keep you up to date if any changes
are  announced.

Because of testing conducted by officials in North Carolina,
Diamond Pet Foods has added Diamond Professional for Adult Dogs to
the list  of recalled products
manufactured in our Gaston, S.C. facility and  distributed in the
eastern U.S.

The product, Diamond Professional for  Adult Dogs, contains a
"Best By" date of January 29, 2007.

Testing  performed by the North Carolina agriculture department
showed a single bag  of the product contained high levels of
aflatoxin. The product was
discontinued in August of this year.

According to Mark Brinkmann,  chief operations officer for Diamond
Pet Foods, the company will continue  working closely with state
officials and will not
hesitate to take action if  testing warrants.

Customers should return any unused product to their  retailers and
should consult their
veterinarian if pets show any signs of  illness. Complete
information can be found at
www.diamondpet.com, or by  calling the Diamond Pet Foods Customer
Information Center toll-free at  1-866-214-6945.

What products are being recalled? Recalled products can  be
identified by the Date Code and "Best By" dates listed on the back
panel of  the package. Recalled products will have a capital "G"
(in reference to Gaston)  in the 11th or 12th position of the date
code (18 lb. to 55 lb. bags), and "Best  By" dates between March
1, 2007 and June 10, 2007. The capital "G" will be in  the 9th
position on smaller 4 lb. to 8 lb. bags.

Diamond's quantitative  analysis records substantiate that
shipments were definitively clear of  aflatoxin after December 10.
As such, "Best By 11-June-07" date codes
or  later are not affected. Also, products with "Best By" dates
prior to 28-Feb-07  are safe.
