Anew video on YouTube ranked Evanger’s #1 of the deadliest wet cat foods. In addition to the euthanasia drug, pentobarbital that was found, the video claims that FDA inspectors found horse DNA in cans labeled beef. Furthermore, plant conditions were poor. Peeling paint, mold, lack of refrigeration, and an open sewer near food storage was also found. Can you determine if these issues have been addressed?.

In reply to Annie. Have you tried Feline Naturals? They're based out of New Zealand but have a US location. It's not certified organic, but they use pasture raised animals and NO guar gum or any other fillers! I found their canned food while looking for one without gums, because my cat at that time was very allergic and would vomit every time if her food contained any gums. I highly recommend their products. They also have freeze dried meals.

In reply to Annie. Hello Annie! Thanks for the comment. Castor & Pollux Organix may be a good option for you; their canned cat food has no guar gum. The brand has been recalled, but it involved dog food and was done voluntarily, so I believe the company has a strong safety reputation.

Hello,

Thank you for your time and research. I’m seeking the best organic wet food for our two cats. I came across the Evanger brand, but I have concerns due to two comments on Chewy (dated 4/14/16 & 11/21/21) that mentioned rusty cans and poor quality food. The latter even reported a cat becoming ill. The 2021 comment hinted at a long-standing manufacturing defect. How can we be sure these issues have been resolved?

Our cats, both two-year-old litter mates (one male, one female with a sensitive stomach), mean the world to us, and their safety is paramount. We are aiming to find food that is not only healthy but also safe.

Previously, they enjoyed Ziwi Peak wet chicken recipe, but their preference changed last year. Currently, we’re feeding them Tiki Cat’s After Dark. While they enjoy the variety pack and it’s non-gmo, the large shredded meat chunks need to be chopped into smaller pieces and it’s not organic. Would you be able to recommend an organic wet food without guar gum, and with no history of recalls?

Thank you for your guidance.
