Other Contaminants in Recalled Pet Food?

The ASPC is urging diagnostic laboratories to continue looking for other contaminants in recently recalled pet food.  The ASPCA’s Dr. Steven Hanson explains, “There are so many inconsistencies in the purported link between aminopterin and the animals affected that we urge veterinary toxicologists and veterinary pathologists at diagnostic laboratories to continue looking for additional contaminants.”

There has been no word yet that any additional contaminants other than aminopterin (rat poison) has been found in the recalled food.
