jp4m2 · 09-14-2009, 10:35 AM

I already have this in another thread but I thought I'd add it here also.This is additions to the list.....

Now the list has expanded to include these names:

Royal Canin Pet Foods
“Fish meal preserved naturally.”

Loyall Pet Foods
“Fish meal ingredients are preserved with ethoxyquin.”

Doctors Foster & Smith Pet Foods
“Ethoxyquin may or may not be in the fish meal that is contained in our foods.”

Eagle Pack Pet Foods
“Fish meal ingredients preserved with natural tocopherols.”

Wellness Pet Foods
“Fish meal ingredients preserved with natural tocopherols.”

Nutro Pet Foods
“Fish meal ingredients are preserved with Vitamin E.”

Iams Pet Foods
“Fish meal ingredients are preserved with Vitamin E.”

No Response (four business days passed)
Azmira Pet Foods
Canine Caviar
Eukanuba Pet Foods
Evangers Pet Foods
Kumpi Pet Foods
Natural Life Pet Foods
Orijen Pet Foods (received message they will follow up)
Petcurean Pet Foods
Purina Pet Foods (received message they will follow up)
Science Diet Pet Foods (received message they will follow up)

Confusing Response
Solid Gold Pet Foods
Solid Gold responded quickly to my initial email stating fish meal is preserved with tocopherols. However, with further investigation, Solid Gold dry foods are manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods (confirmed by Solid Gold), and a representative from Diamond told me all foods manufactured by Diamond that contain fish meal, ocean fish meal, or salmon meal use an ethoxyquin preservative in the fish meal. This seems to mean that Solid Gold pet foods, despite their initial response to the ethoxyquin question, actually contains fish meal ingredients that are preserved with ethoxyquin. Three follow up emails to Solid Gold have gone unanswered; no response to the conflicting information.

These are the two links with the complete articles to read.....
Part one:

Risk Ingredients Not Listed on Pet Food Labels

and part two:

More Pet Food Replies to Ethoxyquin in Fish Meal Question

There are still companies she has not heard back from, so the list may still grow. Reminder: This is for foods that contain "fish meal".
