In response to a message posted by Tricia Palmer on 2/1/01, subject: Iams kitten food Hi all, I just wanted to let everyone know (maybe I'm the only one who didn't know) that the key ingredients for Iams kitten food on their official website is incorrect. The website lists the following key ingredients: Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Rice Flour, Corn Meal, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E, and Citric Acid), Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Dried Beet Pulp (sugar removed), Fish Meal, Potassium Chloride, Brewers Dried Yeast, Vitamins and Minerals. I believe most of the opinions and information posted on ferret websites about Iams kitten food is based on the incorrect information listed above. If you look at the ingredients listed on the outside of a bag of Iams kitten, you will notice that the ingredients do not match those listed above. The ingredients listed on the bag are as follows: Chicken, chicken by-product meal, ground corn grits, ground sorghum, corn meal, chicken fat, (and everthing else remains the same) I first e-mailed Iams about this discrepancy and was informed that the information on the website was correct. I followed the email up with a phone call and after being put on hold for awhile was informed that the ingredients listed on the website are not what is currently being sold in stores. I was told that a formula change was made (in 1999?) made to improve the food. Just some food for thought. I'm sure you can formulate your own opinions based on the info above.
