Unknown origin of a possible contaminant of the food.
There are many sources of information regarding pet food recalls. The Human Society, as well as Dog Food Advisor, both have websites that publish important information about pet food recalls.
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/ is an excellent website for this. They show all pet food recalls since March 2007. It lists by animal, brand, and store.
"To the best of my knowledge, there have not been any safety issues with the Bowflex TC5000 Treasclimber that have caused any recalls."
As of my last update in October 2023, there have been occasional recalls of Friskies canned cat food due to safety concerns, such as potential contamination. To get the most current information on any active recalls, it's best to check the official FDA website or the manufacturer's website. Always verify with reliable sources for the latest updates regarding pet food safety.

What kind of pet food.
The cat could have gotten it from eating already contaminated uncooked, or undercooked meat, either from a store or from a wild animal outside, from eating feces, or from contaminated pet food. There have been many pet food recalls over the years due to bacteria getting into the food. Even dry food, if soaked in water for too long or the bag left open too long, can encourage bacteria to grow.
You can get pet food from pet stores, feed stores, grocery stores, veterinarians, etc. There are many places to get high quality food for your pet. Of course, it depends on the kind of pet. Grocery stores probably won't sell exotic pet food.
