Salmon and fish .. another polluted low quality dog food ingredient?? - Page 1

Most of us think of fish as a healthy food for both humans and dogs but the industrialized fish farms ( especially in Asia ) are as filthy and disease riddled as land based feedlots.  Also be aware that the fish meal or fish in your food or your dog's food is likely not what it seems due to mislabelling and outright fraud by a poorly regulated and even more poorly enforced fish products industry.  Salmon ... one of the fish we think of as most healthy when wild caught can in fact be one oft he most polluted and unhealthy when farmed.

Are You Eating Fish, or Fish Waste? Fish can be one of the healthiest foods you can eat, but in the industrial age you have to be ultra careful about choosing the right type of fish. If you needed another reason to avoid processed foods, watch this film to the end, where it describes how fish waste has become a “highly valued commodity” used in processed foods. At less than 15 cents per kilo, these fish heads and tails, and what little meat is left over after filleting, is a real profit maker. Virtually nothing actually goes to waste anymore. Fish skins are recycled for use in the cosmetics industry. The remainder of the fish waste is washed and ground into a pulp, which is then used in prepared meals and pet food. Since food manufacturers are not required to tell you their products contain fish pulp rather than actual fish fillet meat, this product offers a high profit margin for food manufacturers. One tipoff: if the product’s list of ingredients includes a fish without specifying that it’s made with fillet of fish, it’s usually made with fish waste pulp.

discustingly worrisome...

 

an afterthought,  anything on the oils?  Salmon, plain fish oil, sardine or Krill oils or in capsule form for people or dogs?  Good or bad??

Just as an aside to something in your post, Bubba, about the cosmetics
industry:
If vain people want to decorate their skins with the remains of
fish skins, who are we to say they should not ? No 'skin' off
my back ...all recycling processes have their merits !
