Kan glycerin vara orsaken till det förgiftade kinesiska hundgodiset? Mike Sagman på dogfoodadvisor.com ställer frågan:

"Could a controversial source of glycerin be the cause of so many canine deaths associated with imported Chinese dog treats?

The FDA recently began notifying regulated industries that products using oils, glycerin or protein derived from jatropha seeds may be toxic to humans and animals."

.... "Due to its high oil content and relatively low cost, the plant has recently become an attractive source material for making biodiesel."

After checking various online sources, nearly every Chinese jerky dog treat ingredient list checked by The Dog Food Advisor looked to made with glycerin.

So, could contaminated glycerin be the cause of the problem?

In a word, yes."
