Is this a potentially harmful brand as well?

I know Kaytee, Hartz, aare bad for pigs with a potentially cancer causing ingredient. (Cannot remember name, sorry!)

Is Sunseed a bad brand, meaning having this potentially cancer causing ingredient?

Thanks for reading, all responses are greatly appreciated.

I don't currently feed Sunseed, but I wanted to know so I can notify my other piggy owning friends to stay away from them.

Sunseed is a bad brand.

It's not just ethoxyquin (the cancer causing preservative) in a pellet that makes it bad. Many have very low quality ingredients, no hay at all, fillers, animal by products, oils, unneeded dried bacterias, beet pulp, probiotics, etc.

Read this Guinea Lynx :: Pellets.

Re: Is this a potentially harmful brand as well?

I was searching the internet to find information that substantiats this claim on the ethoxyquin. Can somebody direct me to this information, something more recent than 2001. Preferably something thas is definitive.
