Re: Plastics Chemical In Recalled Pet Food

RICHMOND, Va. -- Government testing of recalled pet food linked to
dog and cat deaths has found a chemical used to make plastics.
The Food and Drug Administration said it found melamine in samples
of the Menu Foods pet food, as well as in wheat gluten used as an
ingredient.
Cornell University scientists also have found the chemical, also
used as a fertilizer, in the urine and kidney of a sick cat.

It's not poisonous enough to matter. Though finding it in food does
suggest some screwy handling somewhere.

I wonder if there might have been an extortion scheme behind this?
