by Prof Mar’a Soledad Tapia, Correspondent
The country is still in shock after the panic over the health
of our pets (more than 400 deaths have been reported unofficially
in the press) generated by the Purina Venezuela aflatoxicosis outbreak.
However, Venezuelans, not even the scientific community, have official
information on the causal agent other than the one presented in Purina’s
initial public statement of past February: “analysis revealed
the presence of mold-produced toxins in a limited number of affected
lots, which despite being limited and identified, drove Purina to
recall all of its products."

Washington Post by Paul Duggan
"NEW BRAUNFELS, Tex. -- More than 50 types of dry dog food produced
at Doane Products Co. a plant Brentwood, Tenn., in July and August are,
according to this story, being recalled this week from stores throughout
Texas and in parts of Louisiana. A Doane spokesman was cited as saying
that the batch confirmed to be fatal was sold only in Central Texas, much
of it in and near New Braunfels, a farming community 30 miles north of
San Antonio. As many as 30 dogs have died since September, casualties
of livers poisoned by a corn mold."
