What are antioxidants and what are their function in Newmans Own Organics dog and cat food?
Antioxidants are required to prevent Newman’s Own Organics dog and cat food, especially fat, from becoming rancid. Most pet food manufacturers rely on chemical antioxidants such as BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin to preserve their foods. Clinical studies suggest that the long term feeding of chemical antioxidants could have adverse health effects on both animals and humans. Newman’s Own Organics uses only natural antioxidants such as vitamin E, C and the herb rosemary to preserve their dog and cat foods.
