If so, this is what their web page says:

Millions of dogs all over the world enjoy SmartBones – and our products have never been recalled by the FDA."

I can't tell you whether or not to trust them, though. We've only used Greenies, which are made from grain, and manufactured in the USA.
I just did a little more digging. SmartSticks are made by the same people who make SmartBones, so I believe the same information I quoted above applies. For what it's worth, according to the package displayed on chewy.com, SmartSticks are sterilized by irradiation, which, although it sounds horrible, is actually a good thing. https://www.chewy.com/smartbones-sma...chews/dp/53154
