Tainted food kills 23 dogs, sickens 18

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Contaminated dog food sold in 23 states killed nearly two dozen dogs and sickened 18 more, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

The 23 deaths and 18 illnesses sparked an FDA investigation into the pet food made by the Diamond Pet Food Company at its Gaston, S.C., plant.

The company recalled 19 varieties of dog and cat food on Dec. 21 because some of the pet food made at the Gaston facility was discovered to contain aflatoxin, a chemical that comes from a fungus sometimes found on corn and other crops. It can cause severe liver damage.

The recalled pet food was sold in 23 states, including Michigan and Ohio but not Illinois.
