I agree lots of misinformation and opinions on FB and the Internet. For clarification it is not just GF diets that appear to be an issue.
“I have recently learned that Fromm does not meet WSAVA guidelines and falls more under the Boutique category.” Not c4c’s opinion, Fromm falls under Freeman’s definition of “BEG” diets.
Itās Not Just Grain-Free: An Update on Diet-Associated Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Fromm produces 56 dog recipes and 24 cat recipes. For me that’s too many recipes to produce without employing at least one (hopefully more) full-time ACVN credentialed Vet or PhD animal nutritionist. There’s no research behind these diets and now they are adding taurine to their recipes without any research to back up this modification among other red flags. Over supplementation anyone?!?!
As far as Fromm not meeting WSAVA recommendations, not opinion either, they don’t meet them simple as that.
WSAVA recommendations:

Rather than relying on FB or the Internet I like to contact pet food companies myself to ask questions. Give it a try, Fromm or any other company will either meet your standards or they won’t… Looked into Newman’s years ago, they wouldn’t name where they produced and manufactured their foods. Maybe that policy has changed since I last contacted them.
Used to feed Fromm, don’t anymore because they don’t meet my pet food criteria.
