FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 4, 2012

Diamond Pet Foods today announced that it is expanding a voluntary
recall to include batches of nine brands of dry pet food formulas
manufactured between December 9, 2011 and April 7, 2012 due to
potential Salmonella contamination.

In April 2012, Diamond Pet Foods initiated three voluntary recalls of
Diamond manufactured dry dog food. Although none of the additional
products being recalled have tested positive for Salmonella, the
company is pulling them from store shelves as a precaution. Diamond
Pet Foods is coordinating efforts with federal and state health and
regulatory agencies and decided to independently expand the recall to
ensure the safety and well-being of customers and their pets.

The company stated: “We have taken corrective actions at our Gaston,
S.C., facility and voluntarily expanded the recall out of concern for
our customers and their pets.”

Brands included in the recall include:

    * Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
    * Country Value
    * Diamond
    * Diamond Naturals
    * Premium Edge
    * Professional
    * 4Health
    * Taste of the Wild

To determine if their pet food is recalled, consumers should check the
production codes on the back of bags that have a number “2” or a “3”
in the 9th or 10th digit and an “X” in the 11th digit. The best-before
dates for the recalled brands listed above are December 9, 2012
through April 7, 2013.
