I went shopping yesterday and bought a fairly wide variety of brands and flavours of tinned food. I chose most of these because they are missing certain ingredients, like wheat gluten and soy. I did my best to source ones without carrageenan (no luck for the majority, there) and other 'iffy' ingredients.
This one is the cheapest one I bought, at 49 cents for a 5.5 ounce tin. It's the yellow label 'No Name' brand sold at Superstore, as well as other stores under the Loblaw's umbrella.
Meat by-products, poultry by-products, beef, chicken, fish (sustainably sourced), rice flour, animal digest, guar gum, sodium tripolyphosphate, salt, potassium chloride, vitamins and minerals, choline chloride, carrageenan, tricalcium phosphate, taurine, iron oxide, water sufficient for processing.

Taurine - 0.05% Min
I understand that the by-products and animal digest are issues for many. As are Carrageenan and guar gum. Unfortunately, in spite of spending a lot of time reading labels yesterday, I could not find any that did not have any of those in it. Well..not totally true. I did, but I could not buy them exclusively at the $1.50 and up for each 3-5 ounce tin. So I am buying a variety of brands and finding which ones she likes and doesn't like.
For what it's worth, I gave her a serving of this last night. No problems with diarrhea or gas. Everything looks normal and she really enjoyed chowing down.
