At the moment there's really no positive verification on what caused the deaths of 23 dogs and cats. But let's present the facts that people know already about the pet food recall.
Upon first investigation, The Food as well as Drug Administration has said the investigation was focusing on wheat gluten in the food. Wheat gluten by itself wouldn't cause kidney failure, however the common component may have been toxified by heavy precious metals or mold toxins such as Aflatoxin, a naturally occurring chemical substance which comes from a fungus oftentimes present in wheat as well as other plants, which can result in serious liver destruction. Aflatoxin poisoning may cause lack of appetite, slowness, fever, jaundice and heavy vomiting.

Jessica Chittenden, a spokeswoman for the New York Section of Agriculture as well as Markets has said that Rat poison has been discovered in the pet food that has been blamed for the fatalities of at least 16 cats and dogs. It isn't yet confirmed but Diamond Pet Food Co., more especially, their manufacturing plant in Gaston, South Carolina and also provider to Ontario based Menu Foods, could be responsible for the deaths that have induced the pet food recall.
These are the information we've got so far.
