Dog jerky treats coming from China have been linked to more than 1000 dog deaths and upwards of 5000 complaints of illness, according to the FDA. Reports of 3 people, including 2 toddlers, becoming ill after eating the treats have also been reported. The FDA has failed to identify the exact source of the problem even after 7 years of investigation. The agency continues to caution pet owners that jerky treats are not required for a balanced diet and encourage them to consult with their veterinarians, both prior to feeding treats and if they notice symptoms in their pets, stated the FDA in a recent statement. US law doesnt require dog treats to bear the country of origin on the label so pet owners have difficulty making educated purchasing decisions. truthandaction.org/fda-more-than-1000-dogs-dead-from-chinese-doggie-treats/
