"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings about
Chinese chicken jerky doggie treats that have sickened and even killed
American dogs.
“ 'China should not be allowed to export any food — for humans or pets
— to the U.S. until it gets its food safety act together,' the Food &
Water Watch says."

"Bagging Chinese dog food"
By Al Kamen
August 7, 2012
CRITICS OF THE SAFETY OF FOOD IMPORTED FROM CHINA are enlisting the
aid of a figure very close to President Obama: Bo Obama.
Hmm . . . if a president’s kids are off-limits, what about the first
dog? Ah, what the heck — the pooch has already entered the political
fray by cutting his own campaign commercial.
Food & Water Watch, which lobbies for stricter food-import laws,
accompanied a recent article with a photo of the adorable pup taken in
front of the White House. “Is the First Dog being fed risky chicken
treats from China? The President owes Bo and all of us finalized food
safety rules to protect our health,” the photo caption says.
The group’s bone to pick: There aren’t any regulations on the safety
of pet food imported from China, a country whose poultry processing
has often been a bit dicey (cough, bird flu, cough). Still, the amount
of food flowing to U.S. pets from China has increased 85-fold from
2003 to 2011. That’s a lot of kibble.
And the Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings about Chinese
chicken jerky doggie treats that have sickened and even killed
American dogs.
“China should not be allowed to export any food — for humans or pets —
to the U.S. until it gets its food safety act together,” the Food &
Water Watch says in the article alongside the Bo shot.
We can only imagine that Bo doesn’t dine on plebeian Chinese jerky (we
picture him instead noshing on organic, free-range steak tartare
whipped up by a White House toque), but the group’s point may have
some bite.
And at least they’ve got a good-looking poster pup.

Hummm!!! Have we got our own acts together? How often have we issued
warnings about E coli in our own food? How many people have died
eating food grown in the U.S.? Remember the Colorado cantaloupes?
How many died eating those cantaloupes?
South Korea and Taiwan refused to allow American beef into their
countries because of Mad cow disease. How many warnings did our
government issued because of contaminated lettuce? contaminated
chickens? ...
When contaminated food from China becomes an issue, it magnifies the
problem a hundred times just because it came from China!!!!

Chinese food exports still have that 'ewww' factor about them.
Give 'em another decade and maybe their crap might be half-safe for
American consumers.
Remember, it was only within the past two decades that China
considered toilets to be a necessity!
