No, that's what the media has been saying in their eagerness to declare the crisis over. The FDA has been a bit more cautious:

The association between melamine in the kidneys and urine of cats that died and melamine in the food they consumed is undeniable.

As in any investigation, we follow leads, use advanced forensics and try to narrow down the cause.

Melamine, which hasn't been documented to be highly toxic, may be a marker for something else in the gluten, says Neal Bataller at the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
