The Food and Drug Administration has sent a letter to Diamond Pet Foods warning the company that an inspection of its South Carolina plant revealed “significant violations” of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The investigator documented that, in late 2005, Diamond manufactured and distributed a number of lots of dog food containing aflatoxin in amounts exceeding the actionable level of 20 ppb (see JAVMA, March 15, 2006, page 829). Aflatoxin, which can cause fatal liver damage, is a byproduct of the growth of certain fungi on corn and other food crops.
