If you want to feed a food made in the US and you don't want to feed ethoxyqin, then yes, all foods with fish meal need to be avoided.  | I understood that US law requires fish meal to be preserved with ethoxyquin. So if a US manufacturer sells a food containing fish meal, they have no choice but have that meal preserved with ethoxyquin. Is this correct? That would explain why Orijen & Acana can advertise their products as being ethoxyquin free - Canada doesn't have the same strict standards as the US.
