Here is a quick update on the pet Food recall: rat poison was not found in the recent batch testings, and Dry food was recalled today for the first time. Also, according to the National Ledger (March 30, 2007), The pet food recall has now widened to include at least 1 brand of dry food.  According to the Fox News, Hills Pet Nutrition recalled 1 of its brands of dry cat kibble for fear it contains melamine, which is the very same toxin which forced Menu Foods to pull “cuts and gravy” products from shelves across North America recently.

It is a kind of cat food which is called Prescription Diet m/d Feline Dry food.  The firm states that it is not taking any chances after melamine, a chemical used as a  fertilizer in Asia and also to make plastic kitchenwares, was identified as the most likely culprit in the Menu Foods recall - one of the largest of its kind ever in North America.
