The FDA has received nearly 5,000 formal complaints from animal lovers who say their pets have either become ill or died (from kidney failure) as a result of eating treats from China, primarily chicken jerky.

“I like to know that my dogs will be spoiled, and will be allowed to sit on the sofa,” Ana-Maria Ciulcu said. “So one of my first questions would be, ‘Are you going to chain him?’”
“By actually tasting the food ourselves I think it's a sound way of walking our own talk and helping to assure people we actually mean what we say about product integrity and quality,” Lucy Postins explained.
