Confusing Response
Solid Gold Pet Foods
Solid Gold responded quickly to my initial email stating fish meal is preserved with tocopherols.  However, with further investigation, Solid Gold dry foods are manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods (confirmed by Solid Gold), and a representative from Diamond told me all foods manufactured by Diamond that contain fish meal, ocean fish meal, or salmon meal use an ethoxyquin preservative in the fish meal.  This seems to mean that Solid Gold pet foods, despite their initial response to the ethoxyquin question, actually contains fish meal ingredients that are preserved with ethoxyquin.  Three follow up emails to Solid Gold have gone unanswered; no response to the conflicting information.

    This says written in 2009 and the taste of the wild (made by diamond) website says no chemical preservatives are used. Has something chanced since then? Or could the company be lying?
