New York State Department of Agriculture officials confirmed reports Friday that rat poison has been found in pet food products blamed for the deaths and illnesses of several animals in the U.S. and Canada.
An earlier ABC News report stated that a rodenticide -- illegal in the U.S. -- had been used on wheat that was imported from China by Menu Foods.
The pet food company then used the grain in close to 100 brands of dog and cat food.
Officials have scheduled a news conference for Friday afternoon where they are expected to reveal more details about the investigation.
Last week, Menu Foods ordered a recall of the affected products in Canada and the U.S. after reports began coming in that dogs and cats were becoming sick, and in some cases dying.
