Apparently the officials have changed their mind and it is no longer rat poison. It is a contaminated wheat gluten, so now some dry foods are affected (our cat has been sick lately, so we are concerned).
Edit: The expanded is nothing we feed our cat. Guess it is just the diabetes (which was just diagnosed).

Are you sure about it being expanded to dry foods? I've read several reports which state that those rumours were false.
We need to be crystal clear here.
Dated March 30th
Melamine has been found in the finished product that was the subject of recall and has not been found in other Menu Foods pet food outside of the recall. Menu Foods only manufactures wet pet food.

Dated March 26th
Media outlets have reported conflicting and incorrect information, including that Menu Foods has expanded its recall to include all products produced.
To clarify, late last week, the US Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and various media outlets reported that some retailers still had recalled product on their shelves. In response, Menu Foods issued instructions for retailers to remove from their shelves all cuts and gravy products of the flavours listed on the recall list, regardless of the dates produced. For many retailers, this had already been completed as their standard operating procedure.
This step did not expand the recall but provided the remaining retailers with an efficient means of withdrawing the recalled product. The full recall list is available at www.menufoods.com.
