NB has stated and another thread has the letter from NB, that it DOES NOT
have Exoythcoin in their food, fish products yes(due to government regulations) but not the regular foods.
Why some keep saying yes is beyond me. | I think some of the confusion comes from NB's response like the one in post 29 of the thread I linked earlier. In it, they acknowledge using E and just say the amount depends on the variety - they never say it's ONLY used in certain foods. Natural Balance's response
All our products come from the human food chain and are therefore in compliance with the FDA/USDA regulations. The safe levels for pet foods established by the governing agencies is at 150 ppm. We have tested our products for ethoxyquin levels. Ethoyquin in Natural Balance products are dependent on the particular variety and range at less than 5ppm. These amounts are much lower than the safe level established by the governing agencies for pet foods. Have a great day! Your post # 10 in this thread cleared it up for me when their first sentence limited the use of E to foods containing fish products. I was very confused at first - I thought their responses conflicted each other. I had to read them several times before I saw the difference. As I said before, I think NB is a good food so I was glad to finally figure that one out.
