It said in the article that if a manufacturer's line was listed, it was implied that all the foods they make would be on the approved list.

Thanks for this info. Our guys are on the Solid Gold Wolf King, which wasn't on the list, although Solid Gold's Millenia and Hund-N-Flocken are. I was wondering if we needed to switch back to the Hund-N-Flocken, but I guess we are good...

I would have to wonder if that was meant how it sounds since first mate dog food is listed and some of theirs is on the same line as feeding a food like Diamond.

Here's what it says:
"The foods on our list are not the only good foods on the market. Plus, we've named just one variety in each line by each maker. Usually, all the other varieties in a given line also meet our criteria."*
*pg 4 column 1 2/2006 Whole Dog Journal
The article is several pages and there is a lot of info. There is a sub-article titled "Yes, Dog Food Can Kill" which goes in to the causes of the mycotoxins (vomitoxin and Alfatoxin) which was found in the Diamond line. It also suggests that you should always keep the dog food bag around until it's empty so you have the date-code number handy if your dog gets sick from the food.
I do think this magazine is well worth subscribing to...they don't take any advertisements so they really do check all of the research without bias. ;)
