Hi Shannel,
it’s not a load of BS, here’s Clean Label Project interview with CBS….

Don’t think cause your paying more for a pet food that it’s going to be really good quality, Orijen has been falling under the radar for way to long now, if you go on the CLP site you’ll start to see a pattern, the pet foods that have fish as the main protein seem to have the most toxins, I was feeding my boy the Earthborn Holistic Whitefish it came 7th & Holistic Select Salmon formula it came 10th on the bad list, at first my boy was doing really well then I must of brought a new batch he went down hill on both brands….vet just blamed his IBD now I think he’s very sensitive & picked up on the toxins in these fish foods, I do not feed or recommend feeding any fish formula’s no more, Turkey is the cleanest meat..
Just make sure you rotate between a few different brands so your dog or cat isn’t on a certain brand for too long…
CLP has given all the test results to all the pet food companies that were tested, so we’ll
know next year when CLP does their testing again on most popular selling pet foods if these pet food companies really care about our pets & clean their act up…
