Take a look at this link--at one time RedBarn was doing business with the Peidi gang for at least some of its products:

I used to buy one of their dog biscuits. What made me say I was through with all RedBarn products was seeing they did business with Pingyang Pet Leather/Peidi Group. Was no longer certain all or part of the biscuits weren't MIC.
