Dog Treat - warning
There's no defined cause yet but there's evidently been an uptick in dog illnesses and deaths after eating a few brands of dog jerky treats. Because the FDA testing can't find the specific cause in the samples it's been provided, they cannot issue a recall and the makers of the food have not issued a voluntary recall.
Unsurprisingly, the treats seem to be made in China. I think, basically, it's a bad idea to eat any food that is imported from China if it's at all possible to avoid it (which isn't so easy).

Please comment on Dreamwidth because it isn't run by the Russian Mob!
