LIST OF SAFETY RECALL DOG JERKY TREATS & PET CHEWS FROM CHINA

By Cara Meyers on October 24, 2013

(PET FOOD RECALL) The FDA’s investigation into chicken, duck, and sweet potatoes jerky treats and chew treats, including rawhide, for dogs from China has yet to give consumers an answer to why their dogs are sick. Pet food brands such as Purina, Publix, Del Monte, Costco and other brands of pet treats are voluntarily recalling their treats, though the FDA still doesn’t know why the dog treats are causing pets to get sick. The government agency has reportedly received more than 600 complaints of dogs and cats becoming sick, particularly gastrointestinal illnesses. The FDA has issued a warning for all pet food treats made in China. But pet guardians should be aware that pet food manufacturers are not required to list the country of origin for each ingredient used in their pet products.

Here’s Global Animal’s list of recent jerky treat recalls and pet foods, by brand, recalled by the FDA in 2013:
