| I think we ALL need to BOYCOTT anything, not just pet foods but ALL products made in China. They want to strong arm the FDA, we the People need to strong arm CHINA. Bring our jobs back & employ our own & see how they like that. Give em a taste of their own medicine |

| I boycott China. I'm just saying besides food you can't grow locally due to climate etc or specialty imports like French wine, cheeses of the world (Derik was in that monthly club) anywho why buy foreign food. I don't get it.I don't buy dog food not made in CA...

The only way we're going to eliminate all the crap that comes here from China is if we, the consumers, stop buying it! Spread the word!!!

| Is this product listed as being made in China? I know the large print on the label makes it look like an American made product. There are still so many people who are unaware that there is even a problem with these jerky products. They are stacked all over discount department stores, drug stores, and pet stores. I am actually amazed that the FDA is involved at all in looking into the item. There are still many companies that add China made fillers to their products but do not list where the fillers came from. It's a sad situation when the majority of Americans are totally unaware of what they are feeding their pets. Food and treats that sit on store shelves are such junk for the most part. |

| Just say no to China!! Have you checked labels in Walmart, petco, petsmart?? I'm guessing 99% of their products come from China. I read the labels on everything!! I'm shocked and how many products come from there. I am finding it harder and harder to find things made here. I remember when Walmart prized itself on only using American made products. So much for that!! Dollar Stores are probably 100% made in China. I just won't shop in those stores anymore. There is a bill in Congress that will remove the country of origin too!! |

I find plenty of Usa,Canadian made anywhere but China made stuff. All kinds of food not made in China. I don't go to the dollar store because most of the stuff is crap anyways. My choice. But I have been to the dollar store not everything is China. Sticky notes are Usa made . Just need to know what you buy. Yes you can't get away from buy everything from China. But at least the food you buy can be made elsewhere. I've been doing it for years no problem. | |

| You are right. There is a big joke...go to Walmart and see who can find an American made product the fastest. All I can say is good luck! Just about everything is made in China. And what is our unemployment rate?
