Well my fellow crabbers, it didn't take long for The Crabbage Patch to respond this time. Here is their reply:

Good evening crabbycrazy2,

It would be wise in the future to get your facts straight before posting accusations on a public forum. Forums have the ability to help or hurt, and come with an inherent responsibility to convey accurate information. You definitely owe Colorado Care Company an apology for your false statements. Their product ingredients, as stated accurately on our web site and their label, DO NOT contain metabisulfite.

We thoroughly examined all of the food and treat ingredients listed on our site which we currently sell. The only products that contain a similar sounding ingredient are a couple of the T-Rex Crab Island Treat Sensations. Their label states “sodium metabisulfite (preservative)”.

One of the reasons we list the food ingredients on our site is for our customers to be able to make an informed personal decision using the facts provided. We make every effort to convey accurate information to our customers. We take all inquiries seriously and answer them honestly. We certainly do not appreciate the misrepresentation and inconvenience your sloppy research has caused.

We feel it is appropriate, and in everyone’s best interest for you to correct your forum posts and take responsibility for your mistakes.

Once again this will be my reply to them:

Sloppy Research??? Not likely since there are currently 3 of us working on it. Very Lucky for you, that I didn't get a screen shot of that ingredient the day it was changed. I will reinstate, I was NOT the ONLY person to view it on your website under CCC's ingredient list.
If anyone needs to apologize it should be The Crabbage Patch for selling their product and for selling products containing sodium metabisulfite. Also, the Colorado Care Co. should apologize for making the product. Being a fellow crabber herself, she should know better than to put that junk in the food. If you were truely concerned about listing all ingredients in their food, why does it only say mineral and calcium supplements? That's a little to vague for our interests and leaves to much speculation. Does the CCC have a list of the supplements they use in their products? If so, I would like to see a copy of that list.
Further more I would like to include that before this preservative was to be found in their kibble on your website, there were already growing concerns on two other websites about their products.

Thank you again,
