Is anyone else having trouble with the new natural foods having worms?

Question

This is the second bag I've bought (at different places) that had maggots in it. Is it because there are no preservatives?

Answer 1

What brand? They DO have preservatives, they just use natural preservatives instead of unhealthy synthetic ones (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin)

"Some consumers prefer pet foods with only natural preservatives. Vitamin E, vitamin C, citric acid, and rosemary are among the most commonly used natural antioxidants. Mixed tocopherols are a common source of vitamin E in pet foods. Vitamin C is provided by ingredients such as cranberries, blueberries, apples, and some other fruits. Citric acid is also found in many of these, especially citrus fruits. Rosemary is an extract from the plant Rosmarinus officinalis, an evergreen shrub which has anti-oxidant properties."

Answer 2

Any brand in particular?

I always buy natural/holstic pet foods, never had maggots in any of the bags. (I rotate foods too, so I buy various brands.)
