据美国食品安全新闻网消息,近日雀巢普瑞纳、德尔蒙特宠物公司(Del Monte Corp)旗下的Milo's Kitchen宣布召回部分狗粮,因为相关产品含有非法添加的抗生素。
据报道,周一美国纽约州农业局检测发现,部分产自中国的鸡肉产品含有非法添加的抗生素,这些抗生素在中国与欧盟使用合法,然而美国禁止使用。
自2011年以来,上千名狗主人对中国的鸡肉干狗粮进行了投诉,指责中国的狗粮导致狗生病或者死亡。
部分原文报道如下:
Both Purina and Milo's Kitchen are voluntarily recalling chicken dog treats nationwide due to the potential that the products may contain trace amounts of residual antibiotics.
The recalled products include Purina's Waggin' Train and Canyon Creek Ranch dog treats, as well as Milo's Kitchen Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers.
On Monday, the New York State Department of Agriculture discovered traces of unapproved antibiotics used on chickens that made its way into the Chinese-made food products. The antibiotics in question are approved by China and the European Union, but not the U.S.
Since 2011, more than one thousand pet owners in the U.S. have reported dogs falling ill or dying after eating Chinese chicken jerky treats. A similar spike occurred in 2007. Food Safety News published an in-depth report on the issue in March 2012.
