I will not buy any products for my dog made in China.
I queried the pet store as to why everything comes from China?Trader Joes has chicken jerky treats that say Made in USA ,but I often wondering if they are referring to the packaging.Anybody????
After reading your question I became concerned about the chicken jerky from Trader Joe’s, so I emailed them from their website. They sent an automated acknowledgement of the question, but no answer. Will post if I get one, or if I never get one.
I wondered the samething about Trader Joe’s chicken rawhide wrap which i give my pekingese on a daily basis. I am kicking myself to getting him into that habit. Anyway, I also emailed Trader Joe’s back in Nov. 2011. Never got any response other than the usual automated acknowledgement. Just this week, i got mad and sent them a 2nd request. today, i got the below reply from Trader Joe’s. What does it mean, “U.S. sourced ingredients” ?!?! This could mean they are buying from a USA supplier but the supplier could be importing it from China! Anyway, I need to dig deeper but just thought i’d share their response with all.... I hate to be skeptical and suspcious all the time but you just simply never know!!

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we could not respond to any previous emails as we were unable to locate any from this email address.
However, this treat is made in the US with US sourced ingredients. Please know that if we had any reason for concern, we would not continue to supply that product and/or use that supplier. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our customers and crew, and the quality of our products.
Sincerely,
Amy
