The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating a Texas laboratory’s finding of acetaminophen in dog and cat food, an agency spokesman said Monday.

The pain medication is the fifth contaminant found in pet foods during the past 2 1/2 months and can be toxic or lethal to pets, especially cats. It is not known if any animals became sick with acetaminophen poisoning, or died from it.

And…

The contaminants were found in foods that are not among the more than 150 brands recalled since March 16, Coneley said. The highest level of acetaminophen was found in a dog food sample submitted by a manufacturer, she said. Coneley declined to identify the company but said its officials were given the results “well over a month ago.”

Isn’t that just grand? I’m guessing more recalls of pet food may be coming soon. I’m not sure I even want to know what the hell is up with pet food anymore. The more I think about that, the more I think about what may be up with the human food sitting on my grocery store shelves, and I REALLY don’t want to think about that.
