Menu Foods Recalled Pet Food Not Even Safe for Rats / New with Yummy Aminopterin Gravy

Because, as you may have already heard, it has rat poison (or more specifically, Aminopterin, which the FDA says we can't use as a rat poison, but we can use for chemotherapy) in it. Or at least it has what is used as rat poison in some other countries, where they were apparently keeping the rats from eating the wheat that they would later sell to Menu Foods as wheat gluten for yummy tainted pet food.

Rat poison has been found in tainted pet food that has been linked to the deaths of at least 14 pets, the New York State Department of Agriculture announced today.Skip to next paragraphRelatedTimes Topics: Menu FoodsThe toxin, identified in samples of pet food tested at Cornell University, is aminopterin, a derivative of folic acid, the department said. The substance is not approved for use in the United States.

Rat Poison Found in Tainted Pet Food - New York Times

Don't get me started on the many multi-layered ironies here, because there are too many sick animals involved for me to be making jokes.

Should I say one more time that there needs to be more suppliers of any food source than just one? And just because it's pet food doesn't mean we can get sloppy on making sure it's safe?

Heads up, Menu Foods, Inc. You all are in for a tough row.

Blessings, y'all.
