600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
<snipped>

Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have been sickened in an ongoing, mysterious outbreak of illnesses tied to jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials said Tuesday.

Most of the cases have been in dogs of all breeds, ages, shapes and sizes, although 10 cats have been sickened, too. The pace of the reported illnesses appears to have slowed, but federal Food and Drug Administration officials are now seeking extra help from veterinarians and pet owners in solving the ongoing puzzle.

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
not the first time either - here's a near identical story but from March 2012

<snipped>

Chicken jerky treats (and other meaty jerky treats) manufactured in China are bad news. There are reports of dogs becoming ill and dying after eating the treats – and the numbers are increasing. Recalls have become all too common.

problem goes all the way back to 2007 - so why is this shit still being imported??

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
Again? Still? Why is nothing being done about this? Those jerky treats made my dog really sick a few years ago, at the first news breaks about it. Took him weeks of home-cooked food and treats, lots of filtered water, but he's good now.

Aside from that, it's nearly impossible to buy pet toys or human toys that are NOT from China, I've been Christmas shopping for the grandbaby and am completely disgusted by it.

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
I wouldn't buy any food that comes from China! I once purchased some Southern Fried Chicken Breasts, Stamped EU/UK on the box. When I opened the box, it was stamped "Produced in the People's Republic Of China". "Packed in the People's Republic of China". I took the product back to the store where I purchased it from, made a complaint, and got a refund.

As it turned out, the box was made in the UK.

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
Horrible, just plain horrible it is still imported. Reminds me of the story I read today about the USDA moving ahead with plans to allow Chicken processed in china to be labeled "Made in America".
How can we protect ourselves if the labeling will be wrong ???

check ingredients, they use lots of feathers and other "by products". I found some American made treats from grass fed cows in my local organic health food store for the mini mutts

I am sorry, but if they are still dumb enough to think china is a safe food source...there is no hope. We don't regulate animal food like WE should. But critical thinking should dictate don't feed anyone something from china.
Awww, damn it. It was a great quote too.

It's your own dang fault if you buy made in china. It's a well known fact they place no value on human life let alone animals. They are in it to make as much cash as possible. Quit buying made in china and your risks of being affected by something like this will drop by over 75%.

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
Made in USA can be misleading though. Some US manufacturer's import ingredients from China. If there is any question, don't risk it.

Trader Joes has US sourced and made chicken jerky treats and Charley Bear brand liver treats, also US made.

For food, I feed my dog Nutrisca but have also heard great things about Origen.

Re: 600 pets dead after eating jerky treats made in China
Anything made in China should be boycotted. They don't care about animals or people in general, just about money. I try not to buy anything made in china if I can, even my clothing.

The only thing I do purchase is their peeled garlic but even then I should stop purchasing that. Purchase local and support our local farmers and manufacturers, put money back into the local economy not some other country.
