Midwestern Pet Foods has expanded a voluntary pet food recall after the deaths of more than 70 dogs, including 80 reportedly ill. This is likely a result of the consumption of food containing fatal levels of a toxin produced by mold, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The pet food company, Midwestern Pet Foods Inc., of Evansville, said it expanded the voluntary recall out of caution after more than 70 dogs reportedly died.
The company issued the first voluntary recall at the end of December last year after clinical tests had shown that certain pet food products contained aflatoxin. The Food and Drug Administration found that aflatoxin which is produced by mold exceeded acceptable levels.
