You need to add raisins/grapes to the list. Also ibuprofin.

Sultanas were number one on my list, being another name for raisins.  They are more toxic than grapes (lb for lb)  since they are more concentrated and we found this out the hard way with Nessa getting ARF.  Now I know a timely BARF will prevent the ARF. 
 
We encountered this with the same dog. We had hung a bird feeding block outside, the birds did not like the sultanas/raisins and so dropped them to the ground where the dog found them.  We don't use those bird feeding blocks anymore.
The more normal banned substance diet for this dog is Leggo star-wars figures which seem to warp their way right on through if not caught in time.

As of this time the dog is showing no signs of distress and close examination shows no sign of blue skin.  In further reading there seems to be some evidence that the blue skin effect mentioned by Richard is photo sensitized, so given that it is grey tuber ware box winter weather here, we may have to wait till summer for further developments.
All the best
