[/quote] ^^^That^^^ [/quote] Yep, bought a bag of sweets at a show a few years ago. Appalled when I saw that they were made in China. Ate some, tasted like metal. Straight in the bin...$20 worth. Aus has fucked labelling laws where they can get around saying where ingredients are actually from in many cases. These lollies were actually made in China so it had to state it. These nanny state motherfuckers go on and on about all kinds of pointless bullshit and won't let consumers know what they are eating. Fucking cunts. When we first adopted our kitteh the vet recommended some dental dry food, all good, the puss ate it like it was cat smack. Realised it wasmade in South America for the American market, no ingredients listed. No fucking way. Aussie made only now, all ingredients listed. Kitteh loves it just as much. People simply have to support genuine, quality, local manufacturers. No other solution. Beat the cheats at their own economies of scale game. :redface: [/quote] I found out the hard way that vets actually believe whatever the salesman tells them, don't take their advice without checking for yourself [/quote]

Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have been sickened in an ongoing, mysterious outbreak of illnesses tied to jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials said Tuesday.
Most of the cases have been in dogs of all breeds, ages, shapes and sizes, although 10 cats have been sickened, too. The pace of the reported illnesses appears to have slowed, but federal Food and Drug Administration officials are now seeking extra help from veterinarians and pet owners in solving the ongoing puzzle.
