IMPORTANT: It was RAT POISON in the pet food
Hi all - at least one of the contaminants in the pet food was 'Aminopterin' which is a substance used as rat poison in some countries (not the US according to what I've heard on the news so far). The news piece I heard said that the wheat gluten was the suspected source of the poison. The wheat gluten came from China. THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT THE CONTAMINANT MADE IT TO THE HUMAN FOOD SUPPLY.
It is a good time to have a gluten free diet.
The radio bit I heard interviewed the CEO of Menu Foods who said that all cuts and gravy style foods are being recalled regardless of manufacture date.
One article I found on the web. I'll look for more. No new press release from FDA or Menufoods or any other food company yet.
