JMHO. Laura Thomas It's the corn that has a naturally developing fungus from certain growing conditions Laura, that causes the issues. Diamond Lamb and Rice products don't contain corn. I feed Kirkland, and although THAT Diamond product wasn't recalled, since the climate and growing conditions that occurred w/ the corn Diamond bought obviously could affect other products from other/all manufacturers, I loaded up on the lamb & rice product the last time I bought food. I don't have allergies, so I'm not too worried about them getting used to a food that could be better for a dog w/ allergies. The only thing I do have, and it's happening now in spite of a little wheat germ oil added to their diets and the whole house humidifier on, lol, are a few who fight over how close to get to the fireplace getting a little itchy this time of year <VBG>.
