This occurred in Brisbane last week. For legal reasons (the lady is taking legal action), no details of the brand or the cause, has yet been released. Since writing below, she has lost 7 out of 8 of her dogs. The only info we have is that the cans were bought from a local supermarket and that the brand is an international brand. The vets have also stated that the cans had extremely high levels of bacteria.

My friend Marilyn has asked me to cross post this to you all so that
you
may take precautions
Tuesday night I fed all my Dogs Dry biscuits, bread and Canned food.
( I cant
say the make)
My Daughter was just released from Hospital so the Canned food was a
quick
easy fix.
Wednesday Morning 4 of my dogs had upset tummies but were still
themselves.
Wednesday night my 9 month old was not herself and everyone was a
little
quiet so I consulted my vet and we put them on Buscapan and
electrolytes.
Thursday morning as usual I got up at 6.00 O'clock to run my dogs. I
found
2 Dead 1 almost Dead 1 a little bit wobbly and the rest O.K. from
the time I
hooked up the float loaded up the car and trailer they were getting
worse.
My Vet and his Nurses were overwhelmed 2 Died at their Surgery and
in a
matter of minutes another was going down 4 were left and I drove
down to
Brisbane to the Vet specialists as my Vet said "he didn't have the
resources
to deal with something like this. When I arrived they were waiting
for me
another one was already dead and 1 more had gone down fast its now
