Corn syrup, soy flour, wheat flour and corn starch can be allergens that aren't necessary to feed. There is quite a bit ofsugar in these (corn syrup and sugar). What does animal digest and animal fat come from? BHA is a horrible preservative. I don't think onion powder, even in small amounts, should ever be given. Iron oxide is another name for rust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide) and propylene glycol is a cousin to ethelyne glycol (antifreeze). Itcan be used as antifreeze (http://www.belfield.com/article3.html).
You're right...now I have to find an alternative that they enjoy.
