Dog treats linked to deaths and sicknesses are returning to store shelves

This is a little bit different from my usual posts, but I think we can all agree that our pets are also our babies.  I am posting this recent story about treats. Please read and share to help spread the word. 

Dog treats linked to hundreds of animal deaths and thousands of illnesses are returning to store shelves soon. Milo's Kitchen and Waggin' Train treats were recalled last year. 

Despite having no firm evidence of what caused the deaths and sicknesses, the treats will be sold again. 

The FDA recommends avoiding jerky treats altogether.







Dog treats linked to hundreds of animal deaths and thousands of illnesses are returning to store shelves soon.
Despite having no firm evidence of what caused the deaths and sicknesses, Waggin Train and Milo’s Kitchen brand treats will be sold again.
Last year, a nationwide recall was issued. The Food and Drug Administration said all animal owners should avoid jerky pet treats.
According to NBC News, Nestle Purina Pet Care officials say they’ll reintroduce a line of Waggin’ Train treats for dogs starting next month, including products made from a single supplier in China and new products sourced entirely in the United States.
“We’ve worked hard to put in place the highest quality controls in the dog treat industry,” Waggin’ Train President Nina Leigh says in a promotional video.
And Del Monte Foods Corp. officials said they’ll resume selling Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky Strips and Chicken Grillers Recipe treats in March using U.S.-sourced meat.
Federal Food and Drug Administration officials told NBC News they know about Nestle Purina’s plans and have reviewed them, but they said the company doesn’t need special permission, known as pre-market approval, to reintroduce the treats. And they said they couldn’t discuss the review.
