Couldn't someone have tainted the wheat with the rat poison?

More in likely it was done in the fields where it was harvested from by some
farmer taking the easy road out since pesticide regulations are non
existence in other countries

The wheat came from China, where this rat poison is widely used for
rodent control. It's really unlikely that this was an intentional
effort to kill North American pets.

It baffles my mind that any country would use rat poison on a crop that is
grown strictly for consumption.

Or, as my husband said, it could have been used in the areas where they
store the wheat before shipping it.

Yeah, can you imagine? People eat wheat too! But, China is a third world
country which hasn't caught up to the rest of the developed world yet.
