The company says there's no risk of other products being contaminated. :dk:

Diamond Pet Foods of Meta, Mo., suspended all production at its Gaston, S.C., plant, following a dog food recall last week due to salmonella concerns, the company reported today.

Diamond ceased production at the plant on April 8, 2012, two days after it recalled several lots of Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice dry dog food due to potential contamination with salmonella. No other products are at risk of being contaminated, according to the company.

Brands manufactured at the Gaston facility include:

Diamond
Taste of the Wild
Premium Edge
Professional
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
Country Value

The company did not provide a specific timeframe on when it would resume production, but said it will not do so until the Gaston plant meets the “highest possible standards of quality.”

If no other products are at risk, then why suspend production? 
Because they do not believe other products were affected, but they need to revamp production to ensure it doesn't happen again kind of thing, I think.

Melesine, it is a recall of several types of dog food. But there were other products manufactured in the plant that, according to the company, aren't at risk for salmonella contamination.
