I got it from here....

http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com/

Diamond manufactures for a lot of pet food companies. Diamond admitted to the author of these articles that they do use ethoxyquin as a preservative . The ingredient is put on by the fish meal supplier before it goes to the pet food processor. IF a pet food manufacturer want to hide the fact that it's in their food they will state that they don't use it, because THEY didn't put it in there....A little white lie I guess......

I find it hard to believe that Chicken Soup would be the only food not using this when all the ones on this list are also manufactured by Diamond and they do have it in them.... If I'm not mistaken it was Diamond that had the issues with melamine a while back.......Doesn't look like a company that can be trusted making pet food.....


Unsafe:
Artemis Pet Foods
Per Diamond Pet Food (manufacturer) “all fish meal, ocean fish meal, and salmon meal ingredients are preserved with ethoxyquin.”

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul Pet Foods
Per Diamond Pet Food (manufacturer) “all fish meal, ocean fish meal, and salmon meal ingredients are preserved with ethoxyquin.”

Per Diamond Pet Food (manufacturer) “all fish meal, ocean fish meal, and salmon meal ingredients are preserved with ethoxyquin.”

Premium Edge Pet Foods

Taste of the Wild Pet Foods
Per Diamond Pet Food (manufacturer) “all fish meal, ocean fish meal, and salmon meal ingredients are preserved with ethoxyquin.”

Maybe the site that rates pet foods just looks at nutritional aspects of the food....
