This is Canine Caviar Gourmet Turkey's ingredient list, I am happy to announce that Canine Caviar DOES NOT use carrageenan in their canned foods anymore. Some very helpful & concerned YT'ers contacted CC & provided this exciting news. They now use guar gum instead. Ingredients (from before the change): Ground turkey, water sufficient for processing, carrageenan gum, cassia gum

Here is a list of dog foods (cans & rolls) from DogFoodAdvisor that contains carrageenan: Search Results carrageenan
I use Blue Buffalo canned to top off Teeka's dry food. Looking at the ingredients, it has carrageenan listed! Thanks for the heads up, as I will be returning the unopened cans! I just don't understand why companies would put such ingredients in any type of food!
