UPDATE:
The Feds are hammering IAMS Eukanuba "Veterinary Diets Optimum Weight Control" and "Restricted-Calorie" dry and canned products for containing a chemical named chromium tripicolinate, which is only approved for pig food.
Its safety in dog/cat foods has NOT been established and foods containing it are deemed "adulterated".
Yes; this is also used in humans as a metabolism booster inder the name chromium picolinate, a 'nutritional supplement' available in most pharmacies & health food stores.
This is unrelated to the rat poison issue.
PETA and others are now asking the FDA to extend the recall to all of Menu's dry foods as well.
I don't usually lend PETA much credence, but in this case I have to concur.
