Recall Record
1 recall on record · most recent 2012 · all resolved
Taste of the Wild was swept into Diamond Pet Foods' 2012 Salmonella recall as a precaution because it was manufactured at the same Gaston, SC plant; the company states its own product samples tested negative for contamination. In 2019, the FDA separately named Taste of the Wild as one of 16 brands under review in its ongoing (inconclusive) grain-free/DCM investigation — no recall resulted from that review.
