I went to a webpage for products by Colorado Care Co. and the list for the kibbles was exactly the same as that on Crabbage Patch. There was a commercial brand fruit mix product that did contain the preservative in question. I would like to hear from the "others" who are also investigating the ingredient in question.
I think it is good to inform the rest of us, but after the dispute is resolved. I think it is in poor taste to be carrying out a dispute and posting email responses on the forum. If you want to investigate, then by all means, do. Post your findings when they have been confirmed and any and all disputes have been resolved. I can see that this is quickly turning sour and is going to result in embarrassment and hurt to everyone involved.
I would want to be sure my information is accurate and several other people will back me up before publicly accusing a business of shady practices.
I've been trying to stay out of this, but i thought I would do a search on this kibble product myself. I really doubt the Colorado Care Co. and The Crabbage Patch went into the system and conspired to defraud to consumers.
Vegetable Oil, sunflower Oil, and Corn Oil are all different products....Sunflower Oil cannot be listed as a "vegetable oil" since they are different products. They are also found in the chips as a binding agent for the ground corn...to make the corn tortilla paste. That's why corn tortillas are miost and pliable. I agree that the tortilla chips could not possibly be good if they are fried and not baked.
My deal is this...if you don't care for a product, just don't buy it. This dispute could possibly have serious consequences on a person's business. Resolve your disputes privately and let us know how it goes when it's over.
