Anyone know what brands of canned cat food are carrageenan free?

My cat has recovered from struvite crystals but can't stay on the urinary diets because he is allergic. I'm looking for a grain free canned cat food that does not have carrageenan in it.

NV Instinct, Tiki chicken varieties, Hound & Gatos. I hear that Ziwipeak is also removing carrageenan.

Nutro Natural Choice canned cat food is grain free and does not contain any carrageenan in it.

My 16 year old male cat loves the sliced turkey, sliced chicken & tuna and minced chicken flavors. His favorite flavor is the sliced turkey and the ingredients are very good for a grain free wet canned cat food.

Ingredients and Guaranteed Analysis:

Turkey Broth, Turkey, Turkey Liver, Pork Broth, Egg Product, Natural Flavors, Minerals (Calcium Carbonate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide), Guar Gum, Tetra Potassium Pyrophosphate, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, Thiamine Mononitrate [Vitamin B1], Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride [Vitamin B6], Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid), Xanthan Gum, Taurine

Guaranteed Analysis:

Crude Protein (Min.)10.00%
Crude Fat (Min.)3.00%
Crude Fiber (Max.)1.00%
Moisture (Max.)82.00%
Ash (Max.)3.00%
It can be bought at both Petsmart and Petco. Not very expensive either in my opinion.

Some styles do and some don't. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but soft loaf and chunky seem to have it; sliced and minced don't.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
SarahLiz found a food called Wild Calling that has novel proteins, are 96% meat, no unnecessary ingredients - and NO CARRAGEENAN! They do have guar gum - but IMO that's the least objectionable of all the thickening agents.

I never checked the soft or chunky loaf flavors since my cat won't eat pate style canned cat food. Thanks for the heads up.
