Take the MSB out of Fancy Feast!!

  • by: Ashley C

Fancy Feast is a well known and often used canned cat food product. It would be an excellent food choice for cats if it were not for one ingredient, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate. It is a synthetic form of vitamin k and it is toxic in cats. It builds up in the system over prolonged exposure and then causes major problems. For more information about this ingredient in pet food please go here:

This ingredient is unfortunately in more products than Fancy Feast and many people are unaware of its harmful effects. Also it can show up under different names making even informed consumers unaware of its presence.

As far as trying to make a change Fancy Feast is a great place to start: Fancy Feast is used by many pet owners and aside from this ingredient it is a good food, It is great for people on a budget because it is a decent food at an affordable price, and it has been known to be helpful to diabetic cats because it has such a low carb content. This in general is a great food for cats but as long as it contains MSB it is very dangerous.

Our cats rely on us to take care of them and keep them healthy. Nutrition is such a huge part of their health. We should be able to trust that when we feed them we are feeding them nutritious food. We should not have to be concerned about putting toxins into their bodies. We need to take a stand and protect our furbabies from the dangers of pet food. We need to make pet food safe so that we can be confident in feeding them. We are their gaurdians and protectors, and I for one will not stand for poisons in pet foods!

So lets ask Purina to please, please take it out of Fancy Feast. If we can raise awareness and Purina can make a change then Fancy Feast can be a wonderful food, and hopefully other companies will follow along making cat food safe and nutritious instead of dangerous and toxic.

Thank You!!!

Dear Purina and the makers of Fancy Feast cat food. 


I am writing to you to ask you to please take the Synthetic vitamin k (Otherwise known as Menadione Sodium Bisulfate) Out of Fancy Feast. There are natural sources of vitamin k available and there are simple ingredients (Such as alfalfa) available that contain this vitamin.


When consumers purchase your products, they are putting their trust in you to take care of their beloved pets nutrition. Many people love their animals like family and they want to do everything they can to care for them and protect them. So they put a lot of good faith in you when they feed them your products. However when you fill your products with harmful ingredients, you are taking advantage of that trust. It would not be okay to fill baby food with toxins and then sell it to their loving parents, so why would you think its okay to do that with their pets food?


Aside from the synthetic vitamin k in your products I believe that Fancy Feast is a great product. I would love to feed it to my cat on a regular basis, but as long as it contains this ingredient i will not be abe to feed it to him.


So on behalf of all pet parents i am begging you to work with your consumers and make a change in Fancy Feast. Please remove this harmful ingredient. Your consumers are the only reason your comany thrives. If they were not purchasing your products you would not have a company. So you should be appreciative of them and you should try to do you very best for them and their animals, rather than taking advantage of them and filling their furry family members with toxins. Please create an honorable and trustworthy relationship with your clients rather than a dishonest and to be quite frank disgusting relationship. 


Please make a start to a great relationship by removing Menadione sodium bisulfate from your Fancy Feast canned cat food.


Thank You.


Sincerely, The Undersigned.

ALMOST HALFWAY!
Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your support! We are almost halfway to our goal but unfortunately things are slowing down. I am hoping to pick up the pace and get some more signatures. So I am asking all of you to please share this petition wherever you can so that we can make a change for the better! If everyone shared this with just 1-2 other people than we would reach our goal. Please help, the kitties are counting on you!
