2013
Residue of illegal antibiotics found in several brands of treats, only a couple of companies initiate formal voluntary recalls, rest "withdraw" products.

Look the package over carefully, "Made In China" is typically in tiny print in a hard to see spot on the package. It may be covered by a price tag too.
Just because a product is still on the shelf does NOT mean it is safe!

Darwin's Naturals and ZooLogics (Arrow Reliance Inc. dba Darwin's Natural)
Date Issued: March 26, 2018
Reason: Salmonella and E. coli O128 (confirmed via unspecified testing)
"E. coli O128 was identified in the contaminated raw turkey pet food product, and is among the most clinically relevant Shiga Toxin Producing E. coli (STEC) in humans. E. coli O128 causes illness indistinguishable from E. coli O157:H7. The symptoms include diarrhea, often with bloody stools.
Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage and even death. E. coli O128 is unknown to cause illness in dogs and cats, but infected animals can become carriers of E. coli O128 and transfer the bacteria to the home environment." From the recall notice.
