Chicken Jerky Causes Illness

The Food and Drug Administration is cautioning pet owners after receiving complaints about chicken jerky products imported from China. The FDA said consumers need to be aware of a potential risk associated with consuming chicken jerky products and illness in dogs. The FDA first issued a cautionary warning to consumers in September of 2007 but the agency continues to receive complaints of illness in dogs who’ve eaten the product. Down Under, Aussie news organizations, report the University of Sydney is looking into a connection between illness and consumption of chicken jerky. At least one Australian firm issued a recall for their chicken jerky product manufactured in China. So far scientists have been unable to find a definitive cause of the illnesses reported.
