Menu Foods, one of the largest pet food manufacturers, is recalling dog and cat food that is sold under 48 different brand names.  Some of the widely distributed brand names include Nutro, Eukanuba and Iams.  These can be found at Safeway, Kroger, Food Lion, Wal-Mart, Petsmart and many other well known stores.

Ten cats and dogs have died from eating the recalled food, while an unknown number of others have suffered from vomiting and kidney failure.

The manufacturer has posted a recall list at http://www.menufoods.com/recall and has two phone numbers consumers can call - 866-463-6738 and 866-895-2708.  According to Menu Foods, the cause of these serious health problems is a rat poison found in the wet food.
