liver problems from chicken jerky?

I have been buying chicken jerky from a large chain store for several years. It is my dogs' favorite treat. Since buying the last bag of jerky, my dogs had 7 - 10 days of intermittent vomiting. I had one of the dogs checked this week and she has increased liver enzymes, which were normal two months ago.
I stopped giving them the treats two and a half weeks ago and the vomiting stopped right away. The jerky is from China. Would there be any contaminant/disease (such as bird flu) which could be the culprit?
Is anyone else having this problem after feeding the jerky treats? My vet is treating her w/ amoxacillin and denosyl. Any other idease?
Thanks much!
