FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Meta, MO -- April 26, 2007 -- Because of the canned
pet food recall initiated today by American Nutrition Inc., Diamond Pet
Foods has announced it is withdrawing a limited number of canned products
manufactured by American Nutrition. This action is limited to three specific
canned products: Diamond Lamb & Rice Formula for Dogs 13 oz. cans, Chicken
Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul Kitten Formula 5.5 oz. cans, and Chicken Soup
for the Pet Lover's Soul Puppy Formula 13 oz. cans.

Diamond Pet Foods is taking this voluntary action after learning the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed rice protein concentrate used by
American Nutrition contained melamine, a substance not approved for use in
food. 

No other Diamond brand or Chicken Soup brand canned or dry pet food formulas
are affected by the American Nutrition recall. 

Diamond Pet Foods has not received any indication of quality or safety
issues, including pet illness, with the three withdrawn products. However,
because American Nutrition informed the company that these three specific
products may include rice protein concentrate, Diamond Pet Foods felt this
action was necessary for the protection of its customers and their pets. 

It should be noted that the products being withdrawn were not formulated or
labeled to contain rice protein concentrate. While the FDA is investigating
this, current information indicates this error is a result of a
manufacturing deviation by American Nutrition.
