I was also wondering about Solid Gold, I feed it to my cats and it does contain fish meal.....The response from Solid Gold to the author of the article was conflicting....The Diamond Co, processes the food and they claim the DO use it but Solid Gold denies it.....
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.
I am believing that it DOES contain ethoxyquin...All of these other foods that are manufactured by Diamond have ethxyquin in it, so why would I believe that only Solid Gold does not?
