I think it is just a "legal disclaimer" to no longer list it on the site or on the bags. My dogs love this food in their rotation more than any other food. Any one notice if Orijen took "No Ethoxyquin" off the bag as well?

| I agree - I think they are, too. I just wonder if this is some new labeling law/requirement that all manufacturers are going to have to follow, or if Champion is just being proactive.

| I got a bag of regional red this week, and it still says "No Ethoxyquin".

| At the bottom of the Acana Pacifica bag it used to say in caps: "ACANA'S FISH INGREDIENTS ARE ETHOXYQUIN-FREE AND MADE EXCLUSIVELY FROM FISH OF CANADIAN ORIGIN THAT ARE PASSED AS FIT FOR HUMAN CONCSMPTION". Now it says in caps: "ACANA'S WILD-CAUGHT REGIONAL FISH ARE NEVER-FROZEN AND ARRIVE FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND FRESH EACH DAY".

My worry is... if all manufacturers are made to change their info, how are we really going to know which foods contain ethoxyquin? I've put so much time and effort into researching, into trying to find the healthiest food possible for my babies. If all manufacturers have the same generic statement will we be able to make truly informed decisions? I'm fine with Champion changing their packaging and ingredient info - if it is was done by their choice and is limited only to them. If others are made to adopt the same platform, I'm going to be very nervous.

| Here is the response I received from Champion Foods regarding the label change: Hello Christina, Thank you for your email. There has been a change to the wording on the bags, but our fish and fish meals in ORIJEN and ACANA are still preserved naturally without ethoxyquin. Neither or supplier nor our preservation methods have changed. I hope this sets your mind at ease! If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to write back. Best Regards, Bonnie Customer Service Champion Petfoods LP p 780.939.6888 f 780.939.6858

THANK GOD!! Thanks Chrissy for doing this and getting us this info. I was scared for a moment although, I am still using their prior formula "Prairie Harvest" right now and not "Wild Prairie." I was thinking I would have to go 100% raw if Acana had ethoxyquin in it. Acana is the only kibble Snick has ever loved! Whew! Snick & Viv
