SHANGHAI: A brand of imported pet food has been linked to the deaths of dozens of dogs across the country.

Since the end of November, at least 30 dogs have died from liver complications after eating Optima dog food imported from Australia.

It is suspected of containing aflatoxin, an extremely toxic and carcinogenic fungus found on corn and other grains that can cause liver damage.
