New recall in the USA

Nestlé Purina Pet Care and its wholly owned subsidiary Waggin' Train announced that it is voluntarily withdrawing its “Waggin' Train” and “Canyon Creek Ranch” brand dog treats sold in the United States until further notice The company is taking this action after learning that the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets (NYSDAM) found trace amounts of antibiotic residue in samples of “Waggin' Train” and “Canyon Creek Ranch” chicken jerky products. These antibiotics are approved for use in poultry in China and other major countries, including European Union member states, but are not among those approved in the U.S. According to Nestlé Purina Pet Care, antibiotics are commonly used globally, including in the United States, when raising animals fit for human consumption. “Waggin' Train” and “Canyon Creek Ranch” products are safe to feed as directed. However, due to regulatory inconsistencies among countries, the presence of antibiotic residue is technically considered an adulteration in the United States. This finding does not pose a safety risk to pets, states the company.
