I was going to post and ask what everyone thinks about the Boots & Barkley (Target) brand of chicken jerky. It clearly states it is made in USA. I believe the China problem is in the meat itself, not so much in the processing. Isn't it possible the problem comes from what they feed the chickens in China? Anyway, is there a way to find out where the chicken used in Boots and Barkley comes from?

I did a quick google to see if I could find the info when I ran across this RECALL ON BULLY STICKS that everyone might not have heard about. Boots & Barkley dog treats sold at Target recalled after positive tests for salmonella - HealthPop - CBS News

For now i am making homemade chicken jerky in a $35 dehydrator from Amazon. I don't add any flavors or spices so there is no "recipe". Why bother getting her used to seasonings if she LOVES it plain? I find it hard to slice it thin enough and pounding it is a pain so I would love a safe alternative for times when I've run out and not gotten a chance to make more. She loves it so much that we give her some almost every day.
