I recently had some issues with two cats who had diarrhea. I don't know that it is related to the black spots in the Tiki Food but here is what the company told me.
They are always looking for ways to improve their formulas so they added this chealated something in order to allow for greater absortion of vitamins. They have responded to concerns from the public and have removed them and reformulated effective April 1, 2015. There is however a 3 yr shelf life on the food so the old food with the black spots are still being shipped.
I only know that my experience was that my cats were doing great on this food until we encounterd the black spots. They had chronic diarrhea which has disappeared after 3 weeks of a prescription food (uhg Hills). The company sent me the newere formula and they seem fine. I am erring on the side of caution and not feeding them just Tiki Cat. Way too much money for such an experience with sick cats.
