Thanks to
geordie for linking to this story at cnn.com about the Menu Foods pet food recall.
They found a rat poison called aminopterin in the affected food. I don't know which makes me feel more sick - the fact that there was rat poison in the food, or the fact that by the time the recall was first announced, Menu Foods hadn't been able to identify the tainting. For all I know it would be hard to spot, but it SEEMS like you should be able to catch something like that, even if that's just wishful thinking on my part.
Either way, I'm horrified by the fact that it happened. Those poor animals.
