I do all I can to avoid buying any treat or food product that's made in China. I make sure just about everything I buy for the dog is made in the US or Canada. I bought some dehydrated chicken strips that were made in Brazil & I figured that was OK since I've never heard of tainted products coming out of that country. What do you all think, are these probably OK?
I agree - chicken strips should all be manufactured in the U.S. Luckily, most are now so there isn't so much confusion. I would throw those out just to be safe. JMHO.
All your dog treat should be manufactured, distributed and sold in the USA.....per my veterinarian.
I've been told Canada is OK, they have food safety standards as good as the US from what I understand.

Maybe I'll try and return them. If they won't take them back then I might give a few to that raccoon that comes around my place and see how it handles them.
Read the label, unless there is something in the ingredients you dont want you dog to eat, the beef is better than most US beef. Brazil prohibits the use of growth hormones and other chemical addatives in beef, poultry, or hog product for human or animal consumption destined for the US market. Thats why Product of Brazil is on the package. If it contains any artificial nasties, they can't ship direct to the US and its sent to another country and cant list brazil as the CoO.
Canada does have higher standards than US but US standards are not that much greater than China so treat US beef like you would China beef..

What have you got against the racoon
Try returning them, if not, throw them out.
When in doubt, throw it out.
Would you eat something you have so many doubts about?

You are talking about beef when the OP stated that they were Chicken Jerky Strips.
I agree with others, when in doubt throw it out.
