SHANGHAI, China — A local distributor of a popular brand of dog food said Monday that it had suspended sales of the product following reports that dogs who ate it died from poisoning.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the product was locally made or imported. A customer service manager at Shanghai Yidi Pet Co. said the company stopped selling Optima brand dog food last week following reports that more than a dozen dogs in four Chinese cities who ate it had died from aflatoxin poisoning.
It wasn’t clear who makes the Optima brand involved in the complaints. Popular products can be quickly copied as counterfeit products and sold with no regulation for quality.
