I was buying Wellness canned Turkey from chewy.com and noticed this description.....
People only get Thanksgiving once a year, but your kitty can have it every day! Wellness Turkey Formula Canned Cat Food nourishes your cat's body and soul to help him live a long, healthy life. Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids help him maintain a beautiful coat and healthy skin, and every can contains carrageenan to protect against kitty colds.
I was kind of shocked to see that statement about the ubiquitous carrageenan additive. I always thought it was used as a food stabilizer for consistency - not as a preventative for respiratory ailments.
Has anyone ever heard of this and know if this is the real reason carrageenan is used in foods? Is this marketing B.S. or what?
