Three Name Brands Top FDA List of Chicken Jerky Treats Suspects

Reports of serious illness in dogs associated with the consumption of Chinese-made chicken jerky treats
continue to be filed by pet owners.

Yet the exact cause of these illnesses still remains a mystery.
However, according to a recent article posted by msn.com, FDA documents obtained by the publisher suggest a possible link to three popular chicken jerky products and their big name producers:

Waggin’ Train Jerky Treats or Tenders (Nestle Purina)
Canyon Creek Ranch Jerky Treats or Tenders (Nestle Purina)
Milo’s Kitchen Home-Style Dog Treats (Del Monte Corp)

The FDA has not identified the problem ingredient, so they are not putting out official warnings
( "has not" or " will not" is my question)

Or maybe even in GD. It could be considered current events, so I think it would pass the SOP, and besides, it's important for as many people to be aware of it as possible.

when they thaw a little more I will use the meat slicer and make him chicken jerky. This stuff scares me, pets are our babies to a lot of us.

We switched to a more natural dog kibble, and can see the difference in our guy.
