Reports from Diamond Pet Foods indicated that no pets have become ill as a result of the contamination; however, this only reflects that no animal illnesses have been reported to Diamond Pet Foods. State and federal agencies do not track pet illnesses, so it can be difficult to know when animals get sick from pet foods.
Diamond Pet Foods has a
website devoted to maintaining updated information about the food recall.
