| Bad Preservatives in Dog and Cat Food |
|
Ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT are the main preservatives used in pet foods. These are all dangerous chemicals and have no place in any kind of food. Ethoxyquin is made by Monsanto and is a rubber stabilizer. It is also used as a herbicide and insecticide. Although it was approved by the FDA in 1956, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) lists it as a hazardous chemical which may cause skin and eye irritations, gross changes in the liver, kidneys' and thyroid and reduction in the survival of offspring. It is banned in Australia. BHT and BHA have been linked to liver damage, fetal abnormalities and metabolic stress.
Other preservatives are the Topopherols (Vitamin C and E). While the use of these vitamins sounds like a healthy choice they have a very short shelf life -Vitamin E lasts about one month and Vitamin C about 12 hours. Additionally the Vitamin E is unstable when heated and light destroys Vitamin C. If the preservative is not effective, when the food will become rancid and unhealthy for the dog.
