Rat poison found in recalled pet food


From Chronicle wire reports


ALBANY, N.Y. — A spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Agriculture says rat poison was found in tainted pet food that killed several animals and sparked a nationwide recall.

ABC News this morning reported that the rodenticide, which the source says is illegal to use in the United States, was on wheat that was imported from China and used by Menu Foods in nearly 100 brands of dog and cat food.

A news conference is scheduled for later day in Alban, where scientists at the state's food laboratory made the discovery a week after a massive recall of 60 million cans and pouches was issued, ABC reported.

The chemical is called aminopterin.

Unfreaking believable!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally.... and horrifically!

I was just searching and then turned the computer off for a while...

Thanks Julie... it sets many minds and hearts to rest. This is an isolated
incident--not a result of poor nutritional recipes.

You know, many Chinese herbs are contaminated also... it is best to avoid
all of them unless they are tested before sale. The Chinese even put DRUGS
into their herbs at times. Phenylbutazone and tranquilizers have been found
during testing here.

Here is more on aminopterin:

It is a chemo agent!

I wonder how much of the gluten consumed by people came from the same source?
