I read this on a couple forums that EVO is completely doing a revamp
of all of their foods and introducing SEVERAL new foods and treats.
There is no news of this on their website but then again they don't
even have a news section (I suggested they make one) The do post the
new ingredients which each food however.

They have removed garlic and beef cartilage from ALL of their foods
and potato as a binder from all their foods except

Turkey & Chicken Formula Dry Dog Food

Turkey & Chicken Formula Small Bites Dry Dog Food

Red Meat Formula Dry Dog Food

Red Meat Formula Small Bites Dry Dog Food

They have replaced the potato removed from the foods with peas because
of it's low glycemic index. Lower than potatoes and better for
diabetic/ Insulinomic pets. Several people on Ferret Harmony e-mailed
Natura with different questions and the replies are posted. I
personally E-mailed them just to suggest they make a Red Meat formula
specifically for ferrets as did another member. I have not gotten my
reply yet as I just e-mailed them a few hours ago but the
representative said "I will go ahead and make a recommendation on your
behalf to make a Ferret product that is a red meat formula. " As we all
know good companies like Natura if there is enough demand for something
they will most likely come through for the customers. Since they are in
the process of making all these changes now is the perfect time to ask
for it. I stated that hundreds if not more ferret owners feed the Red
Meat Small Bites dog food to their ferrets because of Irritable Bowel
Disease caused by a chicken allergy or sensitivity. Telling them a
medical reason for wanting the Red Meat formula might prompt them
more to come out with the food.

Here is the post on Ferret Harmony forum containing the e-mail
responses from Natura which are very informative.
