Fox News reporting that the dog foods are contaminated with rat poinson.
I heard more cat foods were effected than dog foods. Who knows if this is true or not.
I usually don't wear a tin-foil hat, but this was one of my first thoughts as well! What better example of American decadence than the way we treat our pets? Truthfully, many of our animals eat better than people in other countries, and I wouldn't put it past terrorists to attack us through our pets.
Rat poison in imported Chinese wheat. This might affect international relations and commerce.

P&G Pet Care Press Release (Consumers who have purchased IAMS or Eukanuba pet food who have questions should check the IAMS web site. Consumers who have purchased other pet food distributed by Menu should contact Menu.)
There's been reports of wheat gluten problems with the previous cat/dog food reports, so that could be possible.
"CAT food! I said 'In the CAT food'!"
THANKS TO ALL........
It's the same brands that were affected last week! Done got rid of the bad stuff we had! Now we use ALPO and Pedigree..................

That has been my guess all along. We'll see.
One word:
Bhopal.
Or a dry run...for greater food distribution...Canada is such a pro Islamo nation.
Ping!
You may not be so far off, I heard that idea floating around yesterday
here's the link:

I haven't seen it mentioned, but the possibility should also be considered that this poisoning is some sort of revenge (and a warning?) for the illegal immigrant raid on Swift & Co. last December in Colorado...
Around here, my husband puts out D-Con in the garage. OK for years. Then our cat evidently caught a mouse that had just consumed some D-Con but hadn't had time to die from it. Cat chewed on mouse (which I later found) enough to get very sick and threw up a lot. I think if she had eaten the whole mouse, she would have also be dearly departed.
My guess is that a rats or mice in the pet food warehouse ate rat poison and crawled into the food bin and just stayed there. A LOT of mice or rats . . .
Then, of course, the terrorist trial run theory is also logical. So, plant a Victory Garden and thwart the yahoos in their attempts to kill you. (Of course, we're all so used to pesticides all our lives, they may be barking up the wrong tree.)
