Official title: DETENTION WITHOUT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF POULTRY JERKY-TYPE PET TREATS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF ANTIBIOTIC AND/OR ANTIVIRAL RESIDUE(S)
Product scope: Poultry Jerky-Type Pet Treats
Last published: March 5, 2026

Poultry jerky-type pet treats, generally containing chicken or duck meat, have been associated with clinical illness in dogs and cats for over 10 years. Since 2007, FDA has been sampling and analyzing poultry jerky-type pet treats. These products have primarily originated from China. Over 250 poultry jerky-type pet treats have been analyzed with over 1200 tests to determine potential causes for the renal, gastrointestinal, and other illnesses in dogs.
Trace residues of antibiotics and antivirals were identified in poultry jerky-type treats from China based on investigational analysis by FDA with outside laboratories and FDA regulatory analysis. Antibiotics detected include: sulfaclozine (a.k.a. sulfachloropyrazine), tilmicosin, trimethoprim, enrofloxacin, and sulfaquinoxaline. Amantadine, an antiviral, has also been detected.

Read the rest of the reason

The presence of antibiotics and antivirals in poultry jerky-type pet treats is a safety concern for animals. Tilmicosin, trimethoprim, and enrofloxacin are not approved for use in poultry. Sulfaclozine (a.k.a. sulfachloropyrazine) is approved for use in chickens but has a has a zero-tolerance level in edible tissues of chickens. Sulfaquinoxaline, which is approved for use in chickens and turkeys, has a tolerance level of 0.1 ppm, and no finished product should have a residue level above the established tolerance. The antivirals Amantadine, Rimantadine, and Memantine are prohibited for use in poultry including chickens, ducks, and turkeys.

Listing on an import alert is FDA's notice to the firm and a fact an importer must consider in its supplier evaluation under 21 CFR 1.505. What the red, green and yellow lists mean.
