Milos Dog Treat Recall: Milo’s, Waggin’ Train & Canyon Creek Ranch
Del Monte, the company that makes Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky Treats and Chicken Grillers, and Nestle-Purina, the makers of Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch dog treats have initiated a nationwide removal of their chicken treat products from the market.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA/CVM) has been working with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets on that agency’s finding of antibiotic residues in chicken jerky treats from China. The use of antibiotics to keep chickens healthy and disease-free while raising them is standard practice in poultry production for both human and pet food. However, the antibiotics found in the products were not approved in the U.S. and should not be present in the final food product.
Since 2010, the FDA has been investigating reports of illnesses associated with the feeding of jerky pet treats. FDA Report Regarding Jerky Pet Treats and Illnesses will give you background info and current findings on this issue.
