The Humane News retracts the mention of Charlee Bear Products and its Protein Crunch Bars in the article "Dying for a Treat..." that appeared in the February 2013 edition of that publication. We understand that the Charlee Bear Product, Charlee Bear Dog Treats have been produced in the U.S. for nearly 20 years, using only U.S. approved ingredients. Charlee Bear's Protein Crunch Bar, produced in Canada with Canadian and USA ingredients, was subject to a recall in 2012, but not because of any illness or death.

It is the policy of the HUMANE NEWS to correct or clarify any statement later found to be inaccurate. We apologize for any confusion we may have innocently caused.
