There was one case I read about, of broccoli being a problem, when truckloads of it were given to cattle in a feed lot. I read the original report, but I don't remember all the details, as it's been quite awhile. Feed lot animals sometimes get huge amounts of a particular food all at once, because it's cheap. They also get fed some kind of nasty stuff sometimes, because it's cheap.
These toxic lists are shared around, sometimes with very limited information given about the food or even what species had the problem. A lot of foods are really nutritious and safe as part of a balanced diet, but it's a problem to feed massive amounts to feed lot animals. Ruminants in particular can eat too much of particular types of foods and have problems.
