BAKERS COMPLETE ADULT AND PUPPY DOG FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [this is well worth reading if you have any cares about the health of your dog or have a conscience] Would you feed your dog a food which contains THIRTEEN E numbers? Now, it's the law that dog food manufacturers have to state on their packaging for any bags over 10kg EVERY ingredient. They used to be able to say "EEC permitted colorants and preservatives". Now, here's the list in full: BHA, E320 BHT, E321 Propyl Gallate, E310 Citric Acid, E330 Potassium Sorbate, E202 Propan -1,2-diol, E490 Iron Oxide, E172 Indigo Carmine, E132 Tartrazine, E102 Sunset Yellow, E110 Quinoline Yellow, E104 Titanium Dioxide, E171 Carbon Black, E153 In more detail: E320 - has been found to be tumour-producing when fed to rats. In human studies it has been linked with urticaria, angioedema and asthma E321 - banned for use in food in Japan, Romania, Sweden, and Australia. The US has barred it from being used in infant foods. So bad McNasty's have voluntarily eliminated it from their products. E310 - Banned from children's foods in the US because it is thought to cause the blood disorder methemoglobinemia E172 - Banned in Germany E132 - Can cause skin sensitivity, a rash similar to nettle rash, itching, nausea, high blood pressure and breathing problems. One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Prohibited in Norway. E102 - TARTRAZINE - A trial on 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, showed that tartrazine provoked abnormal behaviour patterns in 79% of them E110 - Sunset Yellow (E110) has been found to damage kidneys and adrenals when fed to laboratory rats. It has also been found to be carcinogenic when fed to animals E104 - One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Australia, Japan, Norway and the United States. E171 - Banned in Germany E153 - Banned as a food additive in the United States of America. Suspected as a carcinogenic agent. And which food contains all these? Bakers Complete. Please tell everyone you know with a dog to STOP feeding them this food. As you would imagine, it causes hyperactivity - this is often misdiagnosed as a 'behavioural' problem, and I know of dogs who have been PUT TO SLEEP by owners who have assumed they have a 'bad dog'. It's disgusting that in these days where we are all very aware of additives and colorants causing bad behaviour in kids, these same colorants are being fed to animals causing the exact same symptoms. The only difference is that people don't have their kids put down - sadly, dogs don't get the benefit of the doubt, and the opportunity of a proper diet. I've also heard Pedigree is just as bad!
