So I am learning that these two ingredients are popular thickening additives in a lot of wet foods and they are not great options. Do you guys make sure what you feed your cat doesn't have these? I'll admit, my new addition thinks Meow Mix Simple Servings wet food is pretty fantastic, but I know that is not a good option when compared to many other choices. We have tried more expensive brands, but in beef and she projectile vomited the beef up both times. Apparently it produced cancerous tumors in mice It is also in lots of human foods too.
