Since reading the post on Acetaminophen and Canidae yesterday, I've spent most of the night reading everything I can find on the net regarding dog food recalls and found this post (here is the link so you can read the whole thing).

.....On Jun 4, 2007, Donna (Itchmo username PFR07PS) received test results on her sample of
Innova dog food from ExperTox stating that it tested positive for acetaminophen and cyanuric acid. She was prompted to test for toxins after spotting black and white chunks in the Innova kibble.
She paid for two tests. The first, performed on the dog kibble itself, tested negative for toxins. However, the second test, performed on just the black and white specks in the dog food (shown in photo) tested
positive for cyanuric acid and acetaminophen..... you can read the rest of what Donna has to say.
However before you panic, let me say that Innova is not on the FDA's food recall list and the company's (Nutura) CEO has posted it's own independent lab test results from 3 different labs, including Expertox, the lab that that is suppose to have found acetaminophen contamination in Canidae. All three labs reported negative findings for cyanuric acid and acetaminophen. See test results here:

Additionally, here is more info from The Pet Food List:

Wet foods made by
Menu Foods * (S. Dakota plant) but not involved in the recall.
All Natura products have been tested for melamine contamination and all tests confirmed no melamine in our foods. (from website 5/11/07
Menu Foods were the manufacturers more than 54 of the recalled pet food companies.
Who knows what to believe anymore, is this a conspiracy or a bunch of wackjobs out there seeking attention by posting nonsence to scare people that just want to give their pets the best food they can.
