Safeway Stops Orders For Milo's Kitchen Jerky Treats In The Bay Area & FDA Tests More Dog Treats

The FDA is expanding its investigation into possibly tainted dog treats.

The FDA has added duck jerky treats and sweet potato jerky treats to the list to test for potentially harmful chemicals.

And Safeway told NBC Bay Area today it has discontinued orders of Milo's Kitchen Chicken jerky treats to its stores nationwide. However, the store will continue the sale of the products still on shelves.

This decision comes on the heels of  thousands of complaints from pet owners,  reporting their dogs were sickened or died after eating certain chicken  jerky treats imported from China.

NBC Bay Area reported last month on a Bay Area pet owner who claims her dog died after eating Milo's Kitchen Chicken jerky treats.

The Investigative Unit analyzed data from the FDA and found the brands with the most complaints were Nestle's Waggin' Train and Kingdom Pets.

Del Monte and Nestle say they extensively test their products for safety. Nestle even posted this video to show pet owners how the Waggin’ Train treats are made.

Kingdom Pets posts testing data on its site.  They say their chicken jerky treats come from the “same suppliers for  KFC China and McDonalds China” and have “never tested positive for known  contaminants.”

The FDA says complaints from pet owners have increased in the past nine months, but despite the complaints, no recalls have been ordered.

Extensive testing by the FDA has not linked the treats to illnesses in pets, but the agency says it continues to test samples.

Pet owners should be aware the most common symptoms listed in these complaints include vomiting, diarrhea and lack of appetite.

The FDA has just released a 97-page document updating its public database of pet owner complaints.
