Hi! I can't go into too much detail, but our Superior Choice food has NO ties to Performance Foods (Totally Ferret) at all. Our formula was designed by an Animal Nutritionalist, with a PHD in Animal Nutrition. I am not allowed to name names because of pet industry agreements that exist, but Superior Choice is definitely not a product of Performance Foods, and the Animal Nutritionalist is not an employee of Performance Foods. Superior Choice is produced in a USDA APHIS Certified pet food processing plant for The Ferret Store located approximately 60 miles away from our location in Wilkes Barre,PA. It is not a "repackaged" brand of any sort, it is specially produced for The Ferret Store only. If you take a closer look at our ingredients, you will see that they do not match those of any other "commercial" ferret food. I hope this helps clear up some of the misconceptions.
