Aside from the carrageenan, I have always thought BN 95% is a great food and a very good value among GF options.
I was on PFD the other day placing an order and I noticed that the cans have changed from 6 or 6.5 oz
to 5.5 oz, and the case pack has changed from 12 to 24 cans. Not "that" big of a deal.
However, reading the most recent reviews on PFD, a few people said that the food looks different
than it used to ("darker and seems to contain more fat.") Worse yet, one person mentioned that
the food used to literally fill the can (which I know from experience is true.)
The reviewer said that now the food is surrounded by "gravy" (which we know is mainly guar gum, cassia gum and carrageenan.)
She said that her husband weighed the food with a postal scale (without the "gravy")
and it actually came in at just 4.4 oz, which leaves roughly 1.1 oz of the "gravy."
I have never really factored in the amount of thickeners when considering the price of a can of food,
but they are saying that 20% of the total weight of the food is "gravy"...
when you think about it, that really makes a big difference - if it is accurate.
Anyway, for those of you who use BN 95%,
have you noticed these changes, and do you think that there is really that much "gravy" in each can?
Thanks much!
