Got a call from a friend much earlier today who drove by a PetSmart and saw employees dumping out case after case of dog treats, specifically Waggin Tails and Canyon Creek.  I immediately pulled up the voluntary recall notice, which basically said that the chicken jerky was found to have traces of an antibiotic not approved for use in this country, although it’s approved for EU use (it’s also approved for use in China, but we won’t go there).

Here’s a quote from the Washington Post and the link for the complete article:

Milo’s Kitchen said there is no known health risk associated with the antibiotics, but their presence means the products don’t meet its standards. It said the chemicals “should not be present in the final food product.”

The recalls come after the New York State Department of Agriculture detected the antibiotics in samples of the companies’ products. Purina said that the regulator asked that its affected products be pulled from stores in New York.
